Gilded Age mansions abound in Lenox and the surrounding areas, like the estate of Edith Wharton or Ventfort Hall, a central location in the film The Cider House Rules. There are even areas to ski nearby. In the summer, the Tanglewood Music Festival and Shakespeare & Co. further liven up this area that was once the summer retreat for New York City and Boston’s elite.
