Author Joe Kimball Shares the Secrets of the Murders at the Glensheen Mansion during LARL Visits
Ada, MN — Fans of true crime! Enjoy presentations next week by reporter Joe Kimball, author of “Secrets of the Congdon Mansion,” who will give a first-hand account of Minnesota’s most infamous murder case at the Glensheen Mansion in Duluth. Kimball will discuss his experiences covering the story from start to finish as a reporter for the Star Tribune and will give inside details about the victims, investigators and perpetrators, bringing the tale to life.
Kimball says like any good, classic murder case, the murder of Elisabeth Congdon was driven out of greed.
The Congdon Mansion became the Glensheen Mansion after it was willed to the University of Minnesota-Duluth. Kimball says he was inspired to write his book detailing the murders after he discovered they tried to sweep the murders under the rug once it became open to the public.
You can take in the presentations on Wednesday, October 12th at 10am at the Fosston Library and 7pm at the Barnesville Library, Thursday, October 13th at 10am at the Fertile Library and 7pm at the McIntosh Library, Friday, October 14th at 10:30am at the Ada Events Center and 7pm at the Crookston Library, and Saturday, October 15th at 6:30am at the Hawley Library.
This program is made possible in part thanks to funding from the Minnesota Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund.
