28th June 2026 Lenox, MA…read more Be prepared to be awed as you enter the 50 acre estate and sanctuary of the famous author Edith Wharton, named The Mount, it is a rather remarkable example of the magnificent oasis she created in 1902, during the height of the Gilded Age. The Mount located in Lenox, MA, served as her primary sanctuary when she was in her 40s, and at the peak of her fame as a Pulitzer prize winning Author, which was extremely rare for a woman at the time. Wharton penned literary classics such as, 'The House of Mirth' here. Today, the property operates as a vibrant cultural center featuring guided house tours, art exhibitions, and sprawling formal gardens which are oft rented for large weddings. We were thrilled to get a glimpse of the vast well-maintained garden grounds and mansion. It is definitely worth a visit whilst in the Berkshires. Entry is $20, which includes a one hour guided tour, but do stay to linger and explore the magnificent grounds of this stunning estate that was refurbished to its glory after millions of dollars were donated in the 1990s, and are continued in the present. Please enjoy my photos, and thank you for reading.

Took the tour. It feels like you are rushing through - so much information is given. The tour lasts…read moreand hour and it hardly seems enough to cover three floors of house. After the tour we were free to wander at our leisure. The gardens are well manicured. A video in the house shows the history of the property and photos of restoration inside and out. Gives a real appreciation of the restoration work done here. Amazing. The woodland path is lovely, shaded and serene. There were childrens programs going on along the path during our wander. There is also a sculpture event happening with pieces scattered along the paths. Park in the dirt lot by the stables where you can purchase tickets and watch an orientation video. It's about a five minute walk to the house from here. A book walk begins here too-a series of signs, each one page of a childrens book. If you need handicap parking, buy tickets online, drive past the stable and park near the house. Very informative tour. An abunfance of information throughout the house. Cafe with prepared food on the terrace overlooking the grounds. Plan to spend two to three hours.

The Skin of Our Teeth left me wondering what Thornton Wilder, the playwright was smoking or…read moretripping on. It is inconceivable to me that this play, which begins with the Ice Age and forwards 5000 years could have won the Pulitzer Prize (the pullet surprise) for literature in 1943. We meet the Maggie Antrobus (Harriet Harris) and George Antrobus (Danny Johnson) and their maid Sabina (Ariana Venuri). References to the Rape of the Sabine Women and Lilith, the eternal temptress, are there to tempt Mr. Antrobus. The play includes sexual politics and Oedipal confrontations. The first act seems most relevant to our time with climate change when in August, the inhabitants of Excelsior, NJ experience the effects of an advancing glacier. Mrs. Antrobus castigates Sabina for allowing the fire to go out. (Does this sound similar to scientists' reactions to our current government officials?) The family including their son Henry (Marcus Gladney, Jr.), originally named Cain complete with a mark on his forehead, and their daughter Gladys (Claire Saunders) survive freezing temperatures in Act I, a flood of Biblical proportions in Act II along with the animals in an ark, and a devastating war in Act III. Perhaps in the last scene, which repeats the beginning of the play, Wilder is trying to say that these cataclysmic cycles go on and somehow mankind survives. However, this screwy plot with Mr. George Antrobus inventing the wheel and lever as a dinosaur and woolly mammoth take the stage with them in Act I set the tone for a totally improbable evening. Casting ignores race, I guess as a nod to the continuance of mankind.
