Ten Chimneys, the estate lovingly created by theatre legends Alfred Lunt and Lynn Fontanne, is open to the public (May through mid-November) as a world-class house museum and a national resource for theatre and the arts. Ten Chimneys is a landmark unique among our national treasures. The estate’s diverse collections are comprised of the original pieces hand-picked by the Lunts in the 1920s, ’30s, and ’40s. Ten Chimneys is a National Historic Landmark, a “Save America’s Treasures” project site, and is listed in the National Register of Historic Places. Ten Chimneys is located in Genesee Depot, Wisconsin (thirty miles west of Milwaukee ; ninety miles northwest of Chicago).

Ten Chimneys is owned and operated by the nonprofit 501(c)3 organization Ten Chimneys Foundation, Inc. Estate tours, arts programs, and restoration and preservation of the estate are directed by the Foundation, which was established in 1996 by Dr. Joseph W. Garton (1946-2003). Ten Chimneys Foundation is governed by a 23-member Board of Trustees and is managed by a year-round staff of ten professionals. In addition to our respected Board of Trustees, we have a growing corps of over 300 volunteers who help with everything from managing the fragile collections to being the public face of Ten Chimneys Foundation.

Following completion of an ambitious $12.5 million capital campaign to save and preserve the estate, Ten Chimneys opened to the public on May 26th, 2003. Since this grand opening, Ten Chimneys and the Foundation have been covered in an astounding 221 print and broadcast features, including The New York Times , CBS News Sunday Morning, The Wall Street Journal, National Public Radio, USA Today, and the Chicago Tribune .

The mission of the Foundation is to preserve and share the buildings, furnishings, collections, and grounds of a national treasure – Ten Chimneys; to serve as a continuing resource and powerful inspiration for theatre, the arts, and the art of living; and to offer public programs consistent with the Lunts’ varied interests and core values while maintaining the integrity and intimacy of this extraordinary estate. Our vision for the future of Ten Chimneys is to be nationally recognized as the most memorable and inspirational historic house tour in the country; “the place” for aspiring and practicing theatre professionals to gather; a source of inspiration for the art of living; and an accessible and active member of the local and arts communities.

The Foundation has operated with a balanced budget (the 2007 operating budget was $1.25 million) since its inception. Every element of Ten Chimneys Foundation’s mission depends on the success of revenue-generating operations and contributed income. Based on the important implications Ten Chimneys has for preserving cultural heritage and nurturing the arts, the Foundation is pleased to post this exciting opportunity.
