Radio Gallery: A Tacky Christmas

Glensheen

Back in the day, the Congdon family converged on Duluth to celebrate the holidays at their favorite winter estate in the Christmas City.  The Glensheen Congdon Estate has continued to celebrate the holiday season in grand style and this year adds a family friendly addition to their holiday displays.

You'll find "A Tacky Christmas" outdoor tour on the grounds of the Glensheen Congdon Estate and it includes all the cliche and delightful festive displays.  This adds a walk through the trails and down by Lake Superior if you go on a self-guided tour of the classic mansion Christmas display. 

The new outdoor Christmas display at Glensheen is included in a tour ticket or can be toured separately for $5.
