Edith Wharton
At The Mount Edith Wharton fashioned a world of beauty and calm where she could write in peace and entertain distinguished friends. She created some of her greatest works here, including her first bestseller, "The House of Mirth", and her New England tale, "Ethan Frome".
Today The Mount invites visitors to tour Wharton's exquisite classical revival mansion and wander through the formal gardens. Enjoy the view from the terrace with a cool drink from our café, shop for delightful finds in the bookstore, or just relax and enjoy the beauty of the landscape. Open Daily, May-October.
