Sunny Skies Illuminate Burwell House

Visitors only have a few more weeks to tour the home.

Friday was a sunny day at the Charles H. Burwell House.

The house, located at 13209 E. McGinty Road in Minnetonka, has seen booming numbers of visitors this year. The city announced in mid-July that attendance had more than doubled this year compared to the same time period in 2012. Attendance hit an all-time high July 6, when five tour guides hosted 111 people over a four-hour period.

Residents only have a few more weeks to see the house for themselves. Through Aug. 31, tours are available:

  • 12–3 p.m. Tuesdays,
  • 6–8 p.m. Wednesdays and
  • 12–4 p.m. Saturdays.
In September, the house is only open from 12-4 p.m. on Saturdays.
