Story

Ventfort Hall was the summer cottage of Sarah and George Morgan. It was constructed between 1891 and 1893. The house has 28,000 square feet of living space in it, about 50 rooms.

Ventfort Hall has been under restoration since 1997. In 1991 it was slated for demolition, during this time the paneling was stripped from the walls, and part of the roof collapsed. In June of 1997 it was rescued by the Ventfort Hall Association. The non-profit has slowly but surely been repairing the damage, as well as trying to establish a museum of the Gilded Age within its walls.

Under construction, but a neat place to visit & look at. Pretty sure I experienced an "encounter" between the front room and the library as I smelled a strong floral scent/perfume and there were no flowers or others visible to have left it.

In fairness, I believe that this small mansion from the gilded age is still undergoing renovation. nonetheless, it is a dark, rather gloomy structure with some historic interest which the docent does a good job explaining. But it is sparsely furnished, with just a few rooms. And, the main downstairs rooms were filled with tables and chairs for an private evening event. This really killed any ambiance and made it difficult to view the few displays. Even without the public event setup, this was not worth the $18pp fee. But, the grounds are lovely and can be visited for free. The Edith Wharton house, The Mount, is worth every penny of the same entrance fee.
