Ventfort Hall is the 28,000 ft² seasonal Berkshire 'cottage' commissioned by Sarah Morgan (sister of J.P. Morgan) and her husband George H. Morgan, completed in 1893.
Today, Ventfort Hall is owned and operated by Ventfort Hall Association, a non-profit dedicated to the preservation and restoration of the estate, sharing its unique and varied history, and creating a community space for arts & culture.

SCHEDULE

Our 'Spirited' Newsletter!

Not every haunted gilded age mansion museum allows a liminal spirit to gossip on their behalf...but we do!
She hears all, she says what is needed...
Be the first to hear of the happenings at Ventfort Hall by subscribing to Mistress Songstone's list.
And to learn more about our eaves-dropping diva, click her portrait!

Spill the Tea like it's 1893!

Yes. Ventfort Hall is notoriously haunted by a few spirits.

We treat our ghosts as we treat each other, with kindness and respect- and they do the same. We program regular ghost tours & paranormal investigations with guides who are respectful of our resident spirits. If you're interested in meeting them, check out our schedule of events!

Much like our beloved mansion, this website is a work in progress.

We're working to improve your experience in both our homes; digital & historical!
