Even if the house is closed, the interesting grounds are probably accessible.
A glorious old place, built by a tycoon on the shore of Lake Superior. Mrs. Congdon was murdered by her step son in 1977 – an attempt to get quicker access to the family fortune.

An interesting thing about Glensheen: It was built at the dawn of the electrification age. Its light fixtures are electric, but with coal gas feeds too, in case electricity proved to be a passing fad.

Also, its kitchen sinks were made of soft tin, rather than enameled cast iron, so if the household staff dropped a piece of fine chinaware it’d be less likely to break.
It is a
glorious old place.
