Here’re photos from the afternoon Caitlin and I spent touring Ventfort Hall, a museum of the Gilded Age and Edith Wharton’s estate in Lenox, which may be an example of a mansion that sits in perfect harmony on a natural plot of breathtaking beauty. The Cider House Rules, starring Tobey McGuire, Charlize Theron, and Michael Caine was shot at Ventfort Hall in the late 90s.
