Step into the grandeur of Glensheen Mansion in Duluth, Minnesota! Built between 1905–1908 for mining magnate Chester and Clara Congdon, this stunning *39-room, ~20,000–30,000 sq ft Jacobean‑Revival estate sits on a lush 12‑acre lakeside property overlooking Lake Superior
Explore internals that are incredibly well-preserved: original furnishings, wood paneling of Circassian walnut, mahogany, oak, and built-in furniture by William A. French & Co. Many textiles, stained-glass, stenciling, and marble fireplaces remain just as they were in 1908
.
The grounds feature formal gardens, vegetable plots, orchard, greenhouse, and engineered utility tunnels—all designed by landscape engineer Charles Wellford Leavitt to keep everything hidden and preserve scenic beauty
Opened as a historic house museum in 1979, Glensheen still displays the Congdon family's belongings—Chester’s top hat, Clara’s letters, even linens packaged by their maid nearly a century ago
Choose from multiple touring options:
Classic (main, second, and lower levels),
Full self-guided (includes 3rd floor & attic),
Director’s/Lock & Key for exclusive access to hidden rooms and family stories
.
Discover Glensheen’s architectural artistry—imported marble, rich woodwork, art nouveau detailing, a Japanese‑style green tiled breakfast room—and haunting tales tied to the Congdon legacy, including the tragic 1977 murders of Elisabeth Congdon and her nurse
Whether you're here for the opulent design, lakeside scenery, chilling real‑life drama, or immersive step‑back‑in‑time experience, this tour will leave you enchanted. Don’t forget to like, subscribe, and ring the bell for more historic house explorations!
