Here Alfred Lunt tends a portion of his large vegetable garden and helps harvest the hay at a neighboring farm, c. 1940.
This clip also includes footage of the Lunts' Jersey Cows which included Lily (after Langtry) Sugar, Belle, and the calf Ellen (after Terry) in 1942.
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.
