Fascinating place to learn about an interesting decade in Edith Wharton‘s life. Interesting to hear about the family and a small slice of the Gilded Age history. We had a nice lunch on the outside patio overlooking the gardens. The gardens have been restored and although not my style, two symmetrical for me, it was a fun place to visit.
