Want to visit the Glensheen Mansion for free? Hang on, more info on that in this post.

The Glensheen Mansion is a 39 room mansion boasting 27,000 square feet on a 12 acre estate on Lake Superior. The mansion was built over 3 years from 1905-1908. Back then it cost the Congdon family $854,000 to build. It is estimated that if it was built today it would cost around $21 million dollars.

My family and I have toured the Glensheen several times. The wonderful part is every time you take a tour, you see something new and find out more unique information. It truly is amazing! The craftsmanship of the mansion is remarkable today, so to imagine it in it’s time, is mind blowing. There are several tours available, so check them all out here http://glensheen.org to find out what tour best suits you.

Back to the touring for FREE part. Well on Sunday January 5th you can do just that! They are offering a complimentary Community Day to thank people for their support throughout the year!

When we were there my son loved being outside, touring the grounds. The image above is him by the boathouse at the Glensheen.
