An Official Project of Save America’s Treasures program sponsored by The White House, Ventfort Hall Mansion and Gilded Age Museum offers tours, as well as Tea & Talks, exhibitions like the Bellefontaine Collection, concerts, theater and other programs. Ventfort Hall was built in 1893 for George and Sarah Morgan, the sister of financier J. Pierpont Morgan.

This elegant Jacobean-Revival Berkshire “cottage,” listed on the National Register of Historic Places, is open to the public year round and is available for private rental. Ventfort Hall, an important partner of the Lenox Cultural District, one of five designated districts in Berkshire County, has undergone substantial restoration, which continues.
