Ten Chimneys was the home of husband-wife theatre stars, Alfred Lunt and Lynn Fontanne. Ten Chimneys' opened to the public in 2003, and its well-deserved trademark is "The Tour of a Lifetime ™" It is located in Genesee Depot, a 60-mile drive from Madison.
Wisconsin State Ten Chimneys Day, an intimate gathering of fans, is held each year on May 26th to honor three anniversaries: "the Lunts’ marriage (1922), Ten Chimneys opening to the public (2003), and its dedication as a National Historic Landmark (2004)."
As is customary, Ten Chimneys will again give away 100 pairs of complimentary tour tickets. The morning's festivities will include a "family picture," cake, coffee, champagne, and tours for the lucky winners.
