We’re sure you’ve toured Glensheen before, but how about during the winter holiday season?
Offered weekends through January 5, the new holiday tour invites a self-guided exploration of the Glensheen Mansion where Dorothy Crawford said, “I never felt more at home anywhere than here.” Glensheen tour guides, who are mostly UMD students, will bring the story to life in period costume. The backdrop includes more than 500 feet of garland, 15 Christmas trees, and a serving of holiday shortbread, authentically crafted from Clara Congdon’s original recipe.
Dan Hartman, interim director of Glensheen, says Crawford’s letters illuminate not only Glensheen’s history, but also that of the Zenith City’s. “The piece that really appealed to us about Dorothy Crawford’s story is how she simply adored all the things about Duluth we do today. It’s a great peek into 1912 during what’s been called the Golden Era of Duluth.”
