Took the estate tour which was interesting and enjoyable! The guide was knowledgeable and thorough. I didn't know of Alred Lunt and Lynn Fontane but they have a beautiful estate! It was neat to be able to walk in the rooms without ropes.

We thoroughly enjoyed this tour! Give yourself at least 30 minutes prior to the start of your tour to have time in the visitors center - lots to see! I recommend the grounds + the home tour. The docents are very knowledgeable about the home and its history. Great that something like this has been preserved!

"Ten Chimneys" was the summer home of Broadway actors Alfred Lunt and Lynn Fontanne and visited by some of the most famous people in theatrical history, including Noel Coward, Laurence Olivier and Vivien Leigh. It has been kept open to the public for day tours and also serves as an educational institution for people interested and involved in theater.

The visitor area is also worthwhile to learn about Lynn and Alfred's theatre... More

My wife and I love Wisconsin History and had "ten chimney's" as a must see on our list! We are middle aged and were not familiar with Alfred Lunt or Lynn Fontanne, but we enjoy learning new things! We called the day before and made reservations for the full estate tour! The woman who greeted us was friendly and helpful!... More 

I did the full estate tour on a Saturday with my sister. It takes about 2 hours and you go through several buildings on the property.
