Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and said to be haunted.

Aside from its architectural significance, Glensheen was the site of the murders of heiress Elisabeth Congdon and her nurse, Velma Pietila, on June 27, 1977. Roger Caldwell, the second husband of Congdon's adopted daughter, Marjorie, was charged with the crimes, convicted on two counts of first degree murder and sentenced to two life sentences.

  • Historical mansion of Minnesota, whose first owners were the Congdon family. They were rich, and built their fancy mansion, Glensheen. Today it is a historical museum, where you can tour the mansion and its grounds, and buy stuff at the gift shop.
