LENOX, MA.  Please join us for a fun workshop to try your hand at writing flash fiction at the first ever writers’ workshop at Ventfort Hall on Sunday, March 24 at 3:30 pm with local author and Ventfort Hall Board Member Molly Tabachnikov.

This program will include a short exploration of the mansion and then an exploration of flash fiction. This micro form of story writing, no more than two to four pages, is a great way to hone your story-telling skills. The ghosts of Ventfort Hall might stir your creativity, or help you summon your muse. All material will be supplied to you. Group size is limited to twenty.

Molly is a long time Ventfort Hall volunteer docent and author of several books including Whispers in the Night, It Could Be and Lessons in Space, all available on Amazon.

Listed on the National Register of Historic Places and designated by the Massachusetts Cultural Council as an important partner of the Lenox Cultural District, one of the five such Berkshire County districts, Ventfort Hall Mansion and Gilded Age Museum was built in 1893 for George and Sarah Morgan, the sister of legendary financier J. Pierpont Morgan.

Self-guided tours of the historic mansion are offered daily, as well as Tea & Talks, such exhibitions as the Bellefontaine Collection, concerts, theater, ghost tours and hunts as well as other programs. This elegant Jacobean-Revival Berkshire “cottage” is open to the public year-round and is available for private rental.  Ventfort Hall, also an Official Project of Save America’s Treasures program sponsored by The White House, has undergone substantial restoration, which continues.
