Tour of the Gilded Age Cottages of the Berkshire Hills

Clip Summary

Bob tours the Gilded Age cottages in the Berkshire Hills around Lenox, MA. The first is Ventfort Hall, an Elizabethan-style mansion built in 1893 for Sarah Morgan, the sister of J. P. Morgan (recently the backdrop for the movie "Cider House Rules"). This home is now the site of the Museum of the Gilded Age.

Bellefontaine Mansion, built in 1897, is a copy of Louis XIV's Petit Trianon and is now the home of the Canyon Ranch Spa.
