The Mount –
Estate and Gardens of Edith Wharton
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. Edith Wharton was an authority on European
landscape design as well as a passionate gardener. She envisioned
her gardens as an elegant series of outdoor rooms and created unique
architectural compositions planned in concert with the house and the
surrounding natural landscape.
The pass is good for one free
adult admission and up to four half-price additional admissions, as
well as 10% discount on regularly priced items in the bookstore.
