School Groups

At Glensheen, students don’t just learn about their community’s history; they step back in time. Duluth once had more millionaires per capita than any other city, and until students experience Glensheen firsthand, the Zenith City’s boom time may be hard to fathom. But when students walk the halls of Glensheen and glance up at the reception room’s gold leaf ceiling, they’ll begin to comprehend the prosperity of Duluth’s past.

This real-life history lesson is available year-round for all ages. Students receive a self-guided Classic Tour to view the mansion and an invitation to explore the 12 acres of Lake Superior shoreline.

• We request two weeks’ notice to reserve a school group.
