2024 SUMMER SEASON

In 1949, Bruno and Claire Aron, a Jewish family from New York, purchased an abandoned Ventfort Hall, renovated it, and opened it in 1950 as Festival House: A resort in the Berkshires open to anyone who wanted to stay regardless of religion, ethinicity, or socio-economic status. Today, Ventfort Hall Association's leadership is reviving the Spirit of Festival House in programming, events, and operations.

MUCH LIKE OUR BELOVED MANSION, THIS WEBSITE IS A WORK IN PROGRESS.

Please excuse any untidy pages or confused links. We're working as quickly as we can to improve your experience in both our homes; digital & historical!

The Mansion is CLOSED on the following dates:
SEPTEMBER 7 & 21 | OCTOBER 5, 19, 26| NOVEMBER 28 | DECEMBER 25

There are many ways to enjoy Ventfort Hall's history while ensuring its future.
