It was fun to explore the Cotton Mansion, learn about its history, have festive live music and a meal in the early parts of the holiday season. Thank you for coming to Meal in a Mansion - it also is the 40th day trip by Up North Excursions. Since covid more local outings have been added. This is one of them. Thank you to the talented Duluth East Choralairs.
