Lock & Key

About Lock & Key

The Lock & Key guided tour will take guests through spaces in the mansion, carriage house, boathouse, grounds, and gardens. This tour is best suited for guests who have, or plan to, take Glensheen’s self-guided Classic or Full Mansion tours. Guests will learn about the Congdon family and the staff who worked for them across the estate, along with seeing behind-the-scenes spaces typically not open to the public. These guided tours will be offered on weekends starting in May and June 2024.

ALL GUESTS must go to the Ticket House to check in prior to the start of the tour. Please arrive 15 minutes before your tour time to ensure the tour starts on time.

We encourage guests to dress for the weather! The tour route includes outdoor pathways and will take place rain or shine.

We strongly recommend purchasing tickets in advance. To purchase online, please click here. Tickets will also be sold in person at Glensheen’s ticket house, however, we strongly encourage guests to purchase tickets online due to the limited number of tour spaces.

Est. Time: 1.5 hours.
