Lenox, Massachusetts Estate - The Mount

The Mount was American author Edith Wharton's home in Lenox, Massachusetts. Wharton is known for her expatriate novels and short stories, blending her Americanism with a love for the Old World of Europe. This is evident in The Mount, a beautifully elegant estate that boasts award-winning gardens, and a grand, historic building. Visitors today enjoy touring the house and gardens, hosting lavish weddings, and taking part in several cultural programs, including lectures, theater performances, live music, and more.
