Glensheen

Presenting the mobile enhancement to your self-guided tour experience at Glensheen!

When you use the Glensheen app together with your smartphone, you get to choose how you enjoy the mansion’s General Admission spaces. Simply keep your phone in-hand as you tour, and a vibration will alert you when you enter an area that has fun facts and information.

General Admission Tour:
Glensheen’s app travels with you as you make your way through the Main Floor into show-stopping rooms, such as the Reception or Living Rooms, up onto the Second Floor where the women’s bedrooms are located, through the Servants’ Quarters, back to the Main Floor to see the popular spaces, such as the Breakfast Room, and finally to the Lower Level for additional family and servant locations.

Interactive Map:
It’s easy to get turned around in a 39-room mansion, so Glensheen’s interactive map will help you navigate along your tour. As you travel the self-guided path, the map will highlight the room you’re in.

Sometimes, though, you just need to know more practical information. Need to locate the public restrooms? We’ve got the map for that!

Audio Tour:
For those who are more the “listening type,” the audio tour will guide you through the spaces while being narrated by Glensheen’s own staff, many of which are University of Minnesota Duluth students excited to talk about their favorite rooms or stories.
