Item Description
Let us transport you back in time to the Gilded Age and experience the unparalleled beauty of Edith Wharton’s historic house and gardens.
This package includes:
- Admission for up to 4 guests
- A private behind the scenes tour and lunch on the Terrace with Executive Director, Susan Wissler;
- Admission to Confluence: an exhibition of contemporary large-scale outdoor sculptures featuring nationally acclaimed artists George Rickey, Jonathan Prince, Richard Erdman, and Tim Prentice presented by SculptureNow and The Mount.
- A full year of membership to The Mount at the Sponsor Level.
The Mount is both an historic site and a center for culture inspired by the passions and achievements of Edith Wharton. Designed and built by Edith Wharton in 1902, the house embodies the principles outlined in her influential book, The Decoration of Houses (1897). The property includes three acres of formal gardens designed by Wharton, who was also an authority on European landscape design, surrounded by extensive woodlands. Programming at The Mount reflects Wharton’s core interests in the literary arts, interior design and decoration, garden and landscape design, and the art of living.
