Ten Chimneys, the estate lovingly created by theatre legends Alfred Lunt and Lynn Fontanne, is open to the public as a world-class house museum and national resource for theatre, arts, and arts education. In addition to the estate's rich history, the Foundation is nationally renowned for its Programs for American Theatre and Programs for the Public. Ten Chimneys Foundation preserves and shares the Lunts' historic estate, serves American theatre, and offers public programs in keeping with the Lunts' interests and values.
Volunteers are the heart of our organization. From tending Alfred's gardens to leading inspirational tours to cleaning precious artifacts, Ten Chimneys offers volunteers the priceless sense of beauty, accomplishment, and community that the Lunts so cherished. A tour at Ten Chimneys is more than a walk about a house; it's a true experience of place. Because Ten Chimneys docents do not employ a script, there is freedom and flexibility to be creative in the moment during each tour and customize presentations for specific audiences.
