I volunteer at Glensheen. It is an amazing place. The most precious and notable part is that the complete estate was willed to the University of Minnesota, including all of the original furnishings, artwork, clothing, personal items, carriages and harness (you didn't go upstairs in the Carriage House - there are about 10 carriages and sleighs stored there). It is an incredibly educational and valuable window into our history.
I've been to Glensheen a few times in the past, but never inside. Thank you very much for sharing. Being from Wyoming, we don't have such elegant mansions like it.
This tour is most impressive especially the fact that there are so many original pieces of furniture! The tiles had individual serial numbers!? Such opulence 😁💖Jenn
Yeah it was crazy elegant! There'll be more on Wednesday (Whiskey Wednesday) and when I get the editing done, I'll share the story of the Murder in the Mansion!
Mark this was fab!!! Your voice is so relaxing to me. I love the discussions you mention. The fox was an added bonus! Wow!!’ Was not expecting that haha. Glorious mansion for sure.
Nice video. I had the opportunity to go on the tour one summer afternoon. As it turned out I was the only person in that “group”, so I was able to tour the mansion with the guide alone. I had seen it in the early 80s, as a teenager. it was really fun to see it again. The movie “You’ll like my mother” with Richard Thomas and Patty Duke < I know the movie was filmed there but not 100% on those actors.
I believe we are all servants. Opulent is right. Fantastic video. Tastefully done. Excellent human touch with great humor & respect. The haves and the almost-haves. 😊
While it's fun to imagine what it would be like to live that way, in reality I am VERY content in my modest 2-bedroom home. Thank you for your kind words!
Did we see the Gardner's cottage inside. It looked lovely from the outside. Did they raise cattle or chickens there. Such a lovely lovely video Mark. Thank you. I'm starting my day feeling a little more Victorian now!! Wow wow wow!
Marjorie Congden and her full time nurse Velma Pietalla were murdered there. Horse stables was 2 story. There was an elevator/hidden curling that would house the carriage.
Awesome video Mark! I was thinking about something, what if you did a video on the 2012 Richmond Hill Indiana explosion that ruined hundreds of homes, and took two peoples lives, all because of insurance fraud gone wrong. Plus of course, the people behind it, Manserati Shirley, Mark Leonard, and Bob Leonard, it’s super interesting!
Very extravagant and very beautiful but I would say living in South Georgia being surrounded by plantations you need to look at some of the Estates down here because there are some that are amazing
The iron in the Attic may actually be a addition I don't know who that was original. It looked to be bolted together and if you go back about 50 years everything was welded but the other thing with that the plates on the end of the material looks modern. Keep in mind I used to run a steel building company that was what I did for a living is the only reason I can have that opinion. But it is a very interesting house or estate however you want to say it Mansion Etc. thank you I hope you're staying warm and I hope you're not lock down up there
@@AverageMe I don't know what they are doing at current time but I can tell you that there are three plantations doing tours and the county I live in which is 25 miles north of Tallahassee inside Georgia so and you don't really have to set up you just go on a Saturday or something but the only thing is I don't know they're doing chores at the moment one of the more famous plantations in the area here is ( Pebble Hill Plantation ) and that is located on u.s. 319 about 15 to 20 miles north of Tallahassee Florida but there's two others right there at it but they're all in one area the ones that do tours and things of that nature
The title you gave this video is Murder Mansion. Why? You did not mention a murder. Was the family's name "Murder?" Just a way to attract more of us to your video? ???
This is a very nice once lived in home this is how things are preserved for future by being used as long as people were using and living in them!!!!!! Very nice and properous,blessed with wealth to enjoy living well,isn't God good and wonderful to us we should be more thankful with praises!!!!!

That’s interesting. No I wasn’t able to go up there, nor in the groundskeeper’s cottage. It’s quite a place! Thanks for sharing your experience.

Great video! I grew up in Duluth and toured Glensheen many times over the years. Great to see it again.
Glensheen is actually a Jacobean mansion.
I remember touring this house in the early 1980s. The movie You'll Like My Mother was filmed there. Great video! Cheers ✌

@@AverageMe nice! I’ll be looking forward to it.
@@AverageMe hopefully it's not a confession 😜
Hmm. No confession and no story, only a mention of a murder mystery? Click bait!!
Let the record show that you finally told the story 😂
A very organized caring owners,a busy household,for the ones who lived and worked inside of the house and other buildings,a blessed family!!!!!!!
Mark this was fab!!! Your voice is so relaxing to me. I love the discussions you mention. The fox was an added bonus! Wow!!’ Was not expecting that haha. Glorious mansion for sure.
Thank you for the tour in this gorgeous house,they were so blessed to live is this nice home!!!!!!
Very nice tour. Thank you! Well done!
It’s one of my favorite locations that I’ve been to.

Great video! I'll bet it costs a fortune for the university to heat that place
I know! Must be incredibly high .

No. I tried but it's currently being used as an office and is only accessible to employees. Apparently they had milking cows and horses.
@@AverageMe Yes they kept Jersey cows for milk and butter. And only the best horses also.
The house is beautiful
Yes, it exceeded my expectations.
Great tour you took me places i didn't realize and i have been three 3 times.
@@ellenwilts9567 it’s one of the more memorable places I’ve visited.
that little tub is called a sitz bath used to treat hemmeroids. i asked the tour guide lol
Haha, sometimes it's better not to know!
Marjorie Congden and her full time nurse Velma Pietalla were murdered there.
Horse stables was 2 story. There was an elevator/hidden curling that would house the carriage.

I’ll look into it. Thanks
Agreed.

I’d love to! Set it up for me!

Glad you got to walk across that bridge…it’s closed for repairs
In that case, so am I!
Did I miss the story about the Murder Room you referenced?
The entire murder story can be found here - ua-cam.com/video/s58msiMQdko/v-deo.html
If you know the murder behind it it’s literally a “clue” mansion
The smaller tub you referred to was a sitting bath for ladies.
Yes a state of the art drying rack. The hot water passed through heating the clothes.
FYI: Carom billiards or French billiards is the table pool looking game without pockets 😊
I'll have to research that. I'm unfamiliar with that game.
Where is Ryan Frisby?
Haha! Ryan will be here
@@AverageMe Great!!!🇷🇺
You must be new to area!! News came out 1976
Why hasn't a director looked at this for a movie😮😊
It would make a great Netflix documentary.
It's a baby tub for baby. I want a shower with 18 shower heads! A full body massage standing up.
A baby tub? Really? Well whaddya know!
On the tour we were told that odd small bathtub was because they felt women were too delicate to handle the pressure from a shower.
The title you gave this video is Murder Mansion. Why? You did not mention a murder. Was the family's name "Murder?" Just a way to attract more of us to your video? ???
The family name is Congdon. Google is your friend; there is extensive information on the double murders that happened in the house in the 1970’s.
Who was murdered there? You never said! WTF
This is a very nice once lived in home this is how things are preserved for future by being used as long as people were using and living in them!!!!!! Very nice and properous,blessed with wealth to enjoy living well,isn't God good and wonderful to us we should be more thankful with praises!!!!!
