About
The Mount in Lenox, MA, is the grand estate of author Edith Wharton, where she wrote classics like _The House of Mirth_. Families tour her library and writing spaces inside, then explore the formal gardens and woodland trails outside. Open May–October with a café on site, it’s a 1–2 hour “bookish stop” best for school-age kids and teens who like houses tied to real authors.
