Experience Christmas Magic At Duluth's Glensheen Mansion

Still looking to get in the holiday mood? Some years it can take a little bit more to feel holly and jolly, but if you need to physically be in a place decorated for the holidays to get there, one Minnesota mansion just made the Top 10 list in the US for the holidays. The Glensheen Mansion on Lake Superior was recently recognized by USA Today as one of the best places in the US to visit during the holidays!

Set On The Shores Of Lake Superior

The historic mansion, situated on the shores of Lake Superior in Duluth, has been selected as one of the Top 10 holiday destinations. Here is what USA Today had to say about the Glensheen Mansion.

"It's a stunning property to visit, and their holiday tours are especially poignant — the house offers Christmas candlelight tours, with the whole mansion enhanced by the glow of illuminated Christmas trees. This self-guided tour allows guests to wander through the first, second, and lower levels of this historic home."

An Honor To Be Selected As One Of The Best In The US

Glensheen showed up at number 7 on the USA Today list for 10 best historic home tours that are decked out for the holidays. If Glensheen came in at 7, what historic home took top honors?

Elvis Presley's former home, Graceland, took home the top spot for Holiday Historic Home Tours. This is what the USA Today said about Graceland.

"The Christmas season at Graceland kicks off in mid-November — visitors can tour the home while it's decorated for the season with traditional lights, a life-sized nativity scene, and Elvis' Santa and sleigh on the front lawn. Presley family Christmas artifacts are also on display during this special time of year."

Tell Us You're From Minnesota (Without Saying You're From Minnesota)

We asked you to tell us you were from Minnesota, without actually saying you were from Minnesota. The results were very funny, and very Minnesotan -- ranging from comments about the weather and sports, to food and mosquitoes.
