Value history.

"It seems Glensheen is a spot for entertainment first and education second. Yet, over the past two years, I’ve met some incredible strangers. Some come in with a pencil and paper, sit down in a room for an hour, and draw. Some are carpenters who light up when they see the woodwork. Some people have personal connections with the house or the people who lived there. Amazing conversations come about with these visitors. I have learned more about woodworking, art, electrical engineering, and life in Duluth than I ever expected."

Did you know that a part of the Duluth skywalk system is called the Northwest Passage? Yep.

"Some portions of the skywalk system may see relatively little traffic these days. But Forsman pointed out that other segments, including the Northwest Passage, remain busy and continue to provide vital links. So, he considers any suggestion of a wholesale closure to be inconceivable."

"Plumbing, electrical, appliances too! Somehow the savings come right back to you!"

"Gajeski said its condition is better than what’s been portrayed and its facilities department has inmates learning plumbing and electrician skills who work to make quick repairs."
