Night at the Museum

This is your night to enjoy the mansion - at night … for free. On October 4th, from 6-9 p.m. Glensheen is opening their doors to you for FREE self-guided tours.

Enter the estate through the Formal Entrance at West Gate just like a Congdon guest. Then enjoy a self-guided tour through the main floor, second floor and lower levels of the mansion.

In addition, this is a chance to see pieces of the collection not usually showcased … up close and personal.

As the tour ends, cap the night with a drink from a cash bar in the lower level and a snack from food trucks on the estate. Then take your food and drink to check out what Glensheen has in store for you on the 12-acre estate.

To make this experience even more spectacular, Glensheen's iconic locations on the grounds will be highlighted in ways you haven't ever seen before.

Explore the lakeside, 12-acre estate illuminated on a crisp fall night. See the picture-perfect stone bridge spotlighted and all of the lakeside of the mansion dramatically lit.

Guests will receive a punch card when they arrive, outlining all the must-see stops. Turn in your completed punch card to be entered to win a free Premier Tour for four!

Parking is first to come, first served. Please carpool, walk or bike to Glensheen. The parking lot will fill quickly. Please refer to the city's street side parking regulations.
