Ventfort Hall Mansion and Gilded Age Museum Open Daily Year Round! "Like" our page to be part of our updates, event announcements, and more! 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.

Enjoy a tour surrounded by views of the foliage through our original stained glass windows. Open daily 10am-4pm.

Many trees on the Ventfort Hall property were originally planted by George H Morgan. Each tree seems to hit its peak foliage moment at different times, conveniently keeping the property in peak foliage season all fall long.
