glensheen, the historic congdon estate印象

I've been to Glensheen Mansion multiple times throughout my life. And in the times that I had visited I had only done the grounds & main tour. The last time my family & I visited Duluth we stopped by Glensheen Mansion and we decided to do the expanded tour, which includes the grounds the main part of the house the upper floors, the attic, & the basement.( this tour took us about 2- 3 1/2 hrs. FYI) It's a little expensive, but I highly recommend this tour to anyone that loves a little history. It is quite informative & a visual treat as you tour through truly amazing architecture of the Mansion, it's like stepping back into another time. In case you were wondering...Yes, you are allowed to take photographs, just no flash photography is allowed. (there was only one room in the whole Mansion that we weren't allowed to take photographs in & it was due to some water damage the Mansion had suffered from a bad storm.)The staff is friendly & willing to answer your questions. But if you are inquiring about the murders that took place at Glensheen, the staff refuses to discuss any details of the murders that took place on the property, but yet you can buy a book about it in the gift shop. Go figure...

What a Great Indoor / Outdoor Activity! Beautiful gardens and bay views. Interior architectural designs and furnishings were unique. The family story and historical perspective we're intriguing.

Very impressive estate as you drive up to it. I was interested until I found out the price of the tours. Very expensive to learn history about someone I have never heard of or cared to learn about.

I toured the Glensheen about 15 years ago. I thought it was time to take another tour. I was well rewarded. The interpretation by UMD students is wonderful. Make sure that you spend a little time wandering around the grounds.

As first a tourist of this city, and now a resident. Glensheen is a must. I always enjoy the tour. An incredibly unique step back in time. Go big or go home and do the expanded tour... You won't regret it!

I have been to the Mansion many times and love it every time .. It's huge and interesting to go back in time .. The grounds are wonderful to see also. It's a must see if you come tomduluth .

We went to the mansion due to the very low temperatures outside. If you are going here to hear the murder story then dont bother because they are not supposed to talk about it. They take you through the mansion and tell you about the history of the family and each room. Very informative. I wish I would have read up on the family before going just so I could have a back history.

Very interesting and educational how advanced this mansion was for it's time. I wouldn't mind some of the features in my own home...
