New England Legends: Ventfort Hall | Connecting Point | Apr. 21, 2014

Built by the J.P. Morgan family, Lenox's Ventfort Hall is a Gilded Age mansion with ties to the legendary Massachusetts 54th regiment from the Civil War and was host to the people who shaped and molded this country at the turn of the century -- the Vanderbilts and the Rockerfellers of the era. And if you're a movie fan, it was even featured as the titular setting for the Hollywood blockbuster The Cider House Rules. As Legend Hunter extraordinaire Jeff Belanger shows us, in addition to its amazing history it's also said to be a location for restless spirits.

Great story, indeed. I've read that many Gilded Age 'cottages' have been torn down. It's nice to hear about one that survived.

Great story Jeff Belanger! He doesn't talk down to the audience which is wonderfully refreshing, He also puts a lot of information into a small amount time. I thoroughly enjoyed this price by Jeff Belanger! Thank you!

I worked in this Lenox cottage in the Student Union when attending Stevens School of the Bible; it also housed a dormitory. Scores of events were held there & guest speakers of renown. We experienced the presence of God there, but never a report of anything ghostly...

There is a ghost on the window, exactly when you started expleinig

[@superdougie10]

Not an attractive building actually. I've seen other much larger cabins all over New England for wealthy families and most were perhaps better looking then this.
