Glensheen Mansion

One of the things we love to do when we visit an area is dive into its history. Again, thanks to Chad and Nikki for a great recommendation! We went to the Glensheen Mansion on a mini road trip to Duluth, MN. It was so beautiful! They have kept it much as it was when the family lived there. You can tell they sent the 7 kids off to school--the furniture still looks good. :) We weren't allowed to take pics indoors but the grounds are gorgeous too!

  4. Hi! Found you from Amanda's page. Did you know about the murder that took place at Glensheen? It has kind of a sad dark history. We got to visit for our first anniversary - I loved the prototype built in vacuum system. When we visited one of the caretakers who grew up there lived right there on the property still. It was one of the most intreging places I ever visited. Hope you are doing well!
