The
Berkshire Hills. First they attracted the literary and
artistic elite. Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Mark Twain,
Herman Melville, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Daniel Webster, Edith
Wharton, Daniel Chester French, Henry James.....
Then came the American "aristocracy." Carnegie,
Vanderbilt, Westinghouse, Astor, Morgan….and hundreds of
their social strata, who built a concentration of rural estate
homes unrivaled in America.
The
Gilded Age.
And finally, the culture. The Boston Symphony
at Tanglewood. Berkshire Theater Festival. Jacob's
Pillow, Norman Rockwell Museum, Clark Art Institute,
Shakespeare & Company, Williamstown Theater
Festival....
"...an aggregation of performing arts
unmatched anywhere in the country."
Boston Globe July 4, 1999
Join us for a Gilded Age experience
at Hampton Terrace, an 1897 in-town Lenox landmark
built between the estate homes of the Wharton and
Morgan families.
