Lenox Sights

  1. The Mount

    Almost 50 years after Nathaniel Hawthorne left his home in Lenox (now part of Tanglewood), another writer found inspiration in the Berkshires. Edith Wharton (1862-1937) came to Lenox in 1899 and proceeded to build her palatial estate, the Mount. When not writing, she would entertain friends like Henry James. You can tour the Mount, which is on the outskirts of Lenox at US 7.
