Mission

Ten Chimneys Foundation’s Mission

  • Preserve and Share the buildings, furnishings, collections, and grounds of a national treasure – Ten Chimneys, the estate created by Alfred Lunt and Lynn Fontanne.
  • Serve as a continuing resource and powerful inspiration for theatre, the arts, and the art of living.
  • Offer public programs consistent with the Lunts’ varied interests and core values, while maintaining the integrity and intimacy of this extraordinary estate.

Ten Chimneys is a National Historic Landmark, a “Save America’s Treasures” project site, and is listed in the National Registry of Historic Places. Ten Chimneys is owned by the non-profit 501(C)3 organization Ten Chimneys Foundation, Inc.

You are invited to explore our permanent exhibition off the Lunt-Fontanne Program Center’s main floor lobby.

Entrance to the Exhibition

Alfred Lunt With His Toy Theatres

Enter a bygone era of drama and sophistication as you step through the façade of the Lunt-Fontanne Theatre. You can easily envision Alfred Lunt and Lynn Fontanne, “the greatest acting couple in theatre history,” on stage in their lavish Broadway landmark.

Mechanized Toy Theatre Display in the Exhibition

Ah, but perhaps you’d like to direct? Try your hand at the Lunts’ production in the miniature theatres, each with its own unique mechanization. (Alfred adored miniature theatres…you will too.)

Maybe you yearn for the footlights? Well, just step on stage. You will find there is much to know about the artistic legacy of Lynn Fontanne and Alfred Lunt.

Exhibition 'Stage'

Ah, but you, you should be in pictures. You will want to pose as a very celestial Lynn or Alfred.
