Minnesota’s most-visited house museum, Glensheen, is much more than its beautiful landscaping, rich design, and historic status. It’s a tribute to a family that put down deep roots in northern Minnesota, whose good works live on more than a century after their “home place” was built. This new WDSE documentary reveals the legacy left by the Congdon family and their gracious mansion.

Amazing! I watched this in preparation to go see it tomorrow. I've always wanted to see this home since I was a child as I live just across the border in Thunder Bay. My family would often take trips to Duluth growing up and it has become tradition. I'm so happy that it was maintained over the years in it's original splendour!

The house is simply amazing, my wife and I just visited it last weekend and now they've opened the 3rd floor (where the boys slept), the attic and the basement. It is such a huge house, 39 rooms, its hard to believe a home could be that big. You can also tour the grounds and this weekend the wind was coming in off Lake Superior so strong it was kicking up giant waves off the boat landing and surrounding rocks. It was just gorgeous.

My wife and I saw this mansion today (9 June 19). I was awestruck at how beautiful this place is.

It’s been 45 years or so since I was there.. but I remember it...the craftsmanship is outstanding.. heated horse stalls.. a tributary to the lake had smelt running through it.. they definitely spared no expense... the interior is amazing

Maybe someday they will include the history of her murder, absent the sensational drama of her murder this mansion almost certainly would have been torn down. It was a huge challenge to find anyone willing to restore it. Considering that now few are even aware of how close it was to being abandoned.

Awesome! I went to visit Glenshen mansion on Dec. 27, 2016, and unfortunately, there was no sign language interpreter provided for me (I am Deaf). Although, I am so glad that video contains English subtitles; it helps me understand better about Condgons and their mansion.

I love to see historical homes kept up for the future generations! This is more than a house it's a monument. Thank you for sharing the video and the information.

Went to the Glensheen Mason today and it is amazing! It's has a great balance between being well-preserved and replicated in some cases, to allowing for normal wear and tear yet being able to maintain the original state in many instances. This is especially evident in the bedrooms with the master bedroom being my favorite room followed closely by the amusement room. The mason is a reminder that homes can be built to be almost timeless. The love and care of the home and the ability to maintain much of the original structure and artifacts are amazing. I am listening to this doc as I work for Chester worked hard and deserved his success. The sad part other than the tragedy in the 1970s, is he only got about seven years in majestic mason. It was completed 1909 and I believe he died in 1916. Yet he did his thing and he handled business.

Was just there last weekend. I'm surprised at how much this family did for Duluth and Minnesota and yet I had never heard of them till recently. They seemed like good people and the estate is amazing. I'm definitely going back now that I know more of its history.

My mother and two older sisters were born and raised in Duluth (early to middle 1910-1915's). One taught home economics at Ordean Jr high, the second was a professor of Art Education in the New York University System, and my mother was a music ed teacher in Winnetka Illinois (just north of Chicago) and public school and church choir in suburbs just west of Milwaukee.

I love the beauty of the mansion. Have visited it a few times. The gorgeous woodwork is exquisite. Not one corner of the Glensheen mansion isn’t beautiful. I plan on visiting it again soon.
