Following breakfast, Julie will take us on a guided tour of the Stockbridge/Lenox area, highlighting some of the more famous "summer cottages" built by wealthy industrialists during the Guilded Age.
Our day would not be complete without a tour and lunch at Ventfort Hall, an imposing Jacobean Revival-style mansion built in 1893 for Sarah Morgan, the sister of J. P. Morgan.
