Ventfort Hall Mansion and Gilded Age Museum

Comment on Facebook

Ventfort Hall is an imposing Jacobean Revival-style mansion built in 1893 for Sarah Morgan, the sister of J. P. Morgan. Designed by the architects Rotch & Tilden, it is located in Lenox, Massachusetts.Ventfort Hall was one of the approximately seventy-five so-called “Cottages” built in Lenox in the last century when the village became a popular Gilded Age resort. Located on spacious grounds in the heart of the village, we are continuing its restoration, with the first floor completely open to the public along with many of the rooms on the second floor. Ventfort Hall has a variety of programming that includes lectures, exhibits, theatrical performances and other events. Come see the fantastic exhibit of "Les Petite Dames de Mode" a collection of 60 fashion mannequins dressed in period fashions (1855-1914). Ventfort Hall is also available for group tours and private rentals for meetings and weddings.
