Glensheen Lights up for the Holidays

Glensheen kicked off the holiday tour season Friday. 

There are some new twists on this year’s self-guided holiday tour, including new trees and decorations. 

All twelve of the mansion’s familiar hidden elves have returned and are waiting to be found by visitors of all ages. 

“We actually closed for two weeks to decorate the mansion.  As you can imagine it takes a long time to decorate your own home, to decorate a 27,000 square foot, 39 room mansion. It takes awhile,” said Jane Pedersen, Glensheen Marketing Manager. 

Glensheen needs about 10,000 more visitors to reach 100,000 guests in a year, a record which hasn’t been reached in more than two and a  half decades.
