General Admission Tour:
Glensheen’s app begins on the Main Floor. It travels with you as you make your way through show-stopping rooms, such as the Reception Room or Library, up onto the Second Floor with the women’s bedrooms and through the Servants’ Quarters, then back to the Main Floor to see popular spaces, such as the Breakfast Room, and finally to the Lower Level for additional family locations. Outdoor locations are also highlighted on our grounds tour in the app, which can use your location to tell you more about the areas you’re exploring on the estate.

Interactive Map:
It’s easy to get turned around in a 39-room mansion, so Glensheen’s interactive map will help you navigate along your tour. As you travel the self-guided path, the map will highlight the room you’re in.
