MN Glensheen Mansion Nominated for Nat’l Award – Cast Your Vote

One of the best holiday attractions in Minnesota is the Glensheen Mansion in Duluth.  And this year, it's been nominated for a National award.

Voting is open until Monday, December 2nd.

A couple of years ago we took the holiday tour of Glensheen - the Congdon Mansion, and it was very festive.  There was a Christmas Tree in almost every single room throughout the mansion.

The house was built in the early 1900s and does have a unique history.  But also, some things that were definitely ahead of its time, as well as some very innovative features.

The tour, years ago, used to have a guide leading you around and talking about all the ins and outs of the mansion.  Now, it's a self-guided tour, and you do need to pay a bit more for the entire mansion, but there is a smaller tour that is less expensive as an option.

Let's take a quick look at some of the highlights of the house, along with some fun Christmas decorations that they have throughout the house. There are 25 trees spread throughout and also, if you want to keep the kids entertained, there is an elf hunt.  There are 25 elves sprinkled throughout the house that are fun to spot, if/when you take a tour of the mansion.
