The Edith Wharton Restoration is a non-profit organization situated in Lenox, Massachusetts that is dedicated to preserving the legacy of renowned American author Edith Wharton. The organization was founded in 1980 and is located at The Mount, which was Wharton's home for over a decade. The Mount is a stunning Georgian Revival mansion that was designed by Wharton herself.

The restoration project began in 1997 when the organization began raising funds to restore the mansion to its former glory. The restoration was completed in 2002 and included the renovation of the house's roof, the installation of a new heating and ventilation system, and the restoration of the gardens.

Today, visitors can tour The Mount and experience the beauty of Wharton's architectural and horticultural designs. The house features numerous exhibits that showcase Wharton's life and career, including her writing desk and original manuscripts. The surrounding gardens have also been restored and now feature a variety of plants and flowers that were popular during Wharton's time.

In addition to tours, The Mount hosts a variety of events throughout the year, including literary discussions, lectures, and performances. The organization also offers educational programs for children and adults, as well as an artist-in-residence program.

Overall, the Edith Wharton Restoration is a must-visit destination for anyone interested in the life and work of one of America's most celebrated authors.
