Ventfort Hall

The painstaking renovation of this Gilded Age mansion is almost complete and visitors are welcomed to view to this mpressive “cottage”. The Elizabethan Revival manse was originally constructed at the behest of a sister of J. P. Morgan in 1893. One of its most striking features is the collection of 61 29-inch porcelain dolls modeling elaborate women’s fashions of the period 1855 to 1914; creator John Burbidge used to design wedding dresses for such prominent brides as the daughters of Presidents Johnson and Nixon. The exterior was used in the film, The Cider House Rules.
