We did the «standard/​basic» tour. It was fascinating. Jesse, our guide, was super informative and funny. My kids are 10, 10, and 7 and enjoyed it, too. The guides aren’t suppose to talk about the famous murder that happened there but they can once the tour is over. I would like to go back in the summer because I’m sure the grounds are beautiful.

I stopped by this historic mansion during the winter and I wasn’t able to fully appreciate the gardens surrounding the property. From the pictures, it’s definitely something I’ll have to come back to see in the summer! Many weddings take place on the property during the spring and summer when the plants and flowers are in full bloom.
The home itself is pretty fantastic. Each room has a unique decorating style reflecting the personalities of the original owners and their children. There is a third floor available to tour if you are willing to pay an extra fee. I was told by a friend that it is the men’s quarters and that the rooms are pretty boring and plain compared to the opulence of the women’s quarters on the second floor.
The price of admission of $ 15 a person was a bit high in my opinion. I think it would be better at $ 10. Parking is free.

Gorgeous house tour. Quick 2+hrs to pass by in duluth. You explore up to the second floor and then exit to the gardens where you can peruse and take pictures around the estate. Make sure to get your student ID ready for a free standard tour ($ 15 otherwise).

A unique stop. The history, period, family story, all contribute to a great day out. Find all the pineapples with the kids. Surprised at how small all the furniture is (and people must have been). We have a family member who worked here way back when and it’s fun to have this available to connect with that history. A great staple Duluth stop.

Well worth the visit to this historical house and grounds. Take the full tour but skip the nooks and crannies tour if you havent seen the house yet as it doesnt go through the whole house

They don’t talk I about the murder. It was nice. The estate is beautiful. Not the most interesting historic house, in retrospect to the building. But it’s beautiful. Not the most in depth. Do your research before hand.

We had a great time at the Gleensheen mansion over the weekend. We did the «standard» tour and found it very informative. It was interesting to see how the 1% lived 100 years ago and makes you think we should have our own «Downton Abbey: Duluth.» As others have pointed out, the tour guide does not talk about the murders, they should offer a Halloween Murder Mystery Tour, or something like that. It is part of the history after all.

Let’s just say get here super early to book your tour, or just book your tour online in advance!

Attended my brother’s wedding here in Sept and really was impressed with the overall beauty of the grounds as well as the organization of the coordinator. They are fairly selective on the vendors that can be brought in and are also very strict with what you can/​cannot do within the mansion, but it’s pretty reasonable… and come on! It’s a museum, after all!
The photos are amazing and the bride and groom were happy with the result. The reception room is long and narrow so it would prevent some larger weddings but it worked well for our small-​ish group. The audio in the room is not so great though so if you have anyone planning on making long speeches, make sure you practice or bring in your own equipment.

My husband and I toured Glensheen a couple of weeks ago and it was even more interesting than the books and pictorials I have seen. My only gripe is this: I asked our tour guide if the bedroom noted as Elisabeth’s was where she was murdered, and the response I got was that they do not discuss those events «out of respect for the family.» Yet, those events are what led to the U of M taking ownership of the property and making a TON of money from the tourists who take the tours, and the two definitive books regarding those events are for sale in the Glensheen gift shop. You are perpetuating a double standard: on the one hand, you are «respecting» the family, and on the other you are perpetuating the stories of the tragic events that occurred there. You can’t have it both ways; you need either to add the information about the murders to the tours or remove the books from the gift shop.

We saw this place as we drove through Duluth and out of curiosity had to stop and look around. It is a gorgeous old mansion with spectacular gardens. Time did not allow a tour but, we’ll come back another time as it looked very interesting.

I’m a huge fan of historic homes! I love that they have a gift shop, the themes the tour guides highlight, and the amount they actual show of the home. I’ve seen a wedding rehearsal during my tour, and the space would be fabulous for hosting a large event. Definitely a must see for stopping through Duluth!

I was here for a friends wedding more so than the history, but what a beautiful place this turned out to be! The view of lake Superior is unbeatable, and the history inside is very cool. It was a great place to have a wedding, and the beauty made for some great wedding photos.

I enjoyed our tour of the Glensheen estate but considering the price ($ 15 per person), I expected more from our tour guide.

Went on the Glensheen tour back in middle school on a field trip and it was pretty memorable. Fun to have been through once.
The highlight however is the grounds.
The summer music series on the Glensheen lawn is an amazing way to spend an evening.
I was also in a wedding here and it was absolutely beautiful.

I love Glensheen. have been here several times, and will definitely tour it again. Once nice thing is that it isn’t the exact same tour every time. the docents tell a lot of the same stuff, but then they also throw in their own favorite factoids, so you learn something new about the place each time.
The third floor and attic tour is well worth the extra money.
My 14 year old son and his 13 year old friend loved it too, this last time that I went there.

I enjoyed this more than I expected. Very cool history, and made me interested enough to google the Congdon family when I got back that night. I wish we could have learned about the murders that took place — would have been very interesting.
Our tour guy was very scripted, but also very knowledgeable when people asked him questions that he didn’t cover.
Fairly spendy for a tour of the house, but still pretty cool.

I absolutely loved this tour. We decided to do the extended tour, which covered more areas of the house. I don’t think we missed much of anything really! It is an amazing house and grounds and the history was not only entertaining, but very realistic. They have so much of the original furnishings, and the light fixtures alone are pointed out and explained in great detail. Our tour guide had a wonderful knowledge of the house and was articulate and did a great job.
We knew nothing of the area or the history of the house, which includes a murder that they don’t like to talk about, but will talk about after the tour if you ask.
I purchased the book in the gift shop about the Glensheen daughter, and am enjoying that book still.
An amazing house, and tour well worth the time to visit.

A must see in Duluth. Gorgeous property and house very well restored. I have been twice before and was disappointed the last time that the tour was very superficial with no details about the décor. This time, our tour guide pointed out a lot of details, which made the tour much more interesting. I feel the price is reasonable and if you stay at the Edgewater Resort Waterpark, you get adult tickets for $ 10 and kids’ tickets for $ 5.

The Glensheen is a must visit if you come to Duluth. We took the standard tour and it was well worth the price. The grounds are beautiful in the summer with immaculate gardens in the back as well as a large vegetable garden right near the entrance.
Our tour guide was fabulous and gave tons of details about the house and the family. With the standard tour you are taken through the main floor, the girls’ wing, the master suite, the kitchen/​dining area and the basement. All of the rooms have almost all of the original furnishings as well as photos of what the rooms used to look like. If you like history, make sure to stop by!
