Glensheen
Description
The historic Congdon estate features Glensheen mansion, a 39-room arts and crafts mansion on the shores of Lake Superior in Duluth. The home tells the story of the Congdon family and how they shaped the Northland to what it is today. We are open everyday!
Classic and Full Mansion tours are offered every day of the week. Check back regularly for our special seasonal tours such as the Christmas Tour Flashlight Tour, and Nooks & Crannies Tour.
