This mansion was well built by the Congdons. Be sure the read the book "Secrets of the Congdon Mansion" before you go. The tour has nothing to do with the murders but it's more fun if you know where the events took place during the tour. The tour guides won't tell you where they happened, but our tour guide did... more

Before our trip to Duluth, we did plenty of research. We are residents of West Central Wisconsin and I personally love the Duluth/Superior area. One of the places we found was Glensheen Mansion. I am a huge fan of old homes, and obviously this one has some intriguing history behind it. (The Congdon Murders.) I just have to say, the... more

This was the first time I had ever heard of the Cogden Estate. It was so amazing! I can't even imagine living there, it is so beautiful. The history behind this property and the people who lived there is something you want to hear and see. I won't tell you anything so that you go and see it! It was... more

This is the most beautiful home !!! If I had lived there, I wouldn't have left there even to go to the grocery!.. It is very progressive for its time in the way it was built (ie: to withstand earthquakes) and the furnishings are so lovely. It is decorated for Christmas and can be used for receptions. The grounds are... more

Glensheen offers a glimpse into the world of the privileged in the early 1900's. The estate is beautiful living history lesson, from the original furniture and portraits of previous inhabitants to the immaculate grounds and gardens. One can actually close their eyes and imagine what it must have been like to live on the lake in such a sumptious dwelling. more

The Glensheen Mansion is something you must see at least once. So beautiful, and the owners/builders were so forward thinking in their planning. The home contains most of the original furnishings and decor. The grounds are breathtaking. If you aren't a fan of history or older houses you might not enjoy it, but we sure did. more

The Mansion has a very interesting story and the tour guides share it well. Ive been on the tour twice with different people that I have vacationed with in Duluth. Its just pricey and I feel its not worth what they ask for it. Id much rather drive up the north shore and enjoy the views. It is good for... more

If you ever find yourself in Duluth, MN, please do not miss seeing this one attraction. I have traveled to many cities across our country and it is rare indeed that I find historic homes this opulent and with original interiors. Simply amazing. And while I found the tour informative, I would prefer to have heard more about the Congdon... more

The Glensheen was really interesting to be inside of knowing there were two people who were murdered there. Definitely buy the book that tells more about it before you go so you know what the tour guides won't talk about. more
