While I'm sure the estate is wonderful to view on a nice warm summer day, it was also a nice rainy day activity. We took the extended tour and enjoyed it very much. Out tour guide was super knowledgeable and clearly took an interest in the history of the estate herself, she was very energetic and made it an enjoyable... More

This is a must see tour. Very interesting to hear the history of this mansion, and amazed at how well preserved most of it is. Walking around the grounds makes you realize how big the property is.

House is kept up well. 90 percent of the furnishings are original to the home. We took the expanded tour and got to see the upstairs and the attic. Still winter, so there was nothing to see in the garden.

We had a great time touring the Glensheen mansion. The building was amazing, if not old and a little beaten up. Guide was knowledgeable and a good guide. It's expensive, but a good piece of Minnesota HIstory.

This just sin't another historic building - it's an entire estate with park like grounds that hug the shore of Lake Superior. There's almost eight acres to explore, so wear comfortable shoes. The main house is spectacular, and there's also formal gardens and a carriage house complete with carriages and sleighs to explore. The tour guides were very well informed,... More

Take a tour of Glensheen if you have the chance. It is neat to take a look at history and how people lived. The rooms seem small but are so nicely decorated. Take note of how small the homeowner's bed is and the craftiness of the smoking room. Look for pineapples that are a sign of welcome at the time... More

My husband and I spent a weekend in Duluth for our anniversary and thoroughly enjoyed Glensheen. We paid up forbtge deluxe tour and our guide was among some of the more tenured guides. We both very much enjoyed the tour. It was a grand way to pass a rainy day in Duluth.

My husband and I absolutely loved the tour and the grounds were beautiful as well. It was a bit spendy, but completely worth it and we want to go back again. It is beautiful.

The history behind this family is amazing. It's a place that should be preserved for all to visit. We enjoyed the expanded tour and would definitely take our friends and family with us again!
