Work Where Culture Lives
The Mount is a National Historic Landmark and cultural center in the heart of the Berkshires dedicated to the intellectual, artistic, and humanitarian legacy of Edith Wharton. The Mount has evolved from a traditional historic house museum and gardens to a vibrant, accessible, and beloved literary and cultural center. We strive to engage a diverse audience by providing context to Wharton’s life and achievements through educational and public programs and the conservation and preservation of her historic estate and gardens. Join us!
Working at The Mount
We are a welcoming, creative, and collaborative team that enjoys meaningful, mission-driven work in a spectacular setting. In warmer months, meetings are often held on the Terrace, overlooking a one-of-a-kind view fashioned by Edith Wharton herself. From public programs to house tours and the ongoing work involved in the preservation of a 100-year-old estate, we enjoy the collegial support of one another across departments. We encourage a healthy work-life balance and are a dog-friendly workplace.
