Executive Chef Douglas Luf emphasizes the use of fresh, local ingredients in his cooking, and the inn’s menus are revised to reflect the bounty of each changing season.

The Museum is located in the beautiful Berkshire mountains of Stockbridge, Massachusetts, where Norman Rockwell spent the last 25 years of his life. His brilliant career spanned more than 60 years, leaving behind a legacy of images that helped define American identity throughout the 20th century.

The Mount was Edith Wharton's "first real home." Wharton designed and built The Mount in 1902, based on the principles outlined in her influential book, The Decoration of Houses (1897), co-authored with architect Ogden Codman Jr. This classical revival house represents the only full expression we have of Wharton's architectural interests.

The Mount is the only U.S. monument to Edith Wharton. It is also one of the mere 5% of National Historic Landmarks dedicated to women.
