HISTORY
The Wilburton was built as a private home for a Chicago railroad baron in 1902. As a 1000 acre gentleman’s farm, it was the largest private estate in Manchester. It became The Windsor Mountain boarding school during the 1940s. When it became a country inn in the 1950s, 6 smaller villas were built on the 30-acre hilltop estate to accommodate more guests. RKO Pictures owned The Wilburton for 20 years as an executive retreat and exclusive getaway for movie stars. (Joan Fontaine summered here for years!) The Levis family has run The Wilburton since 1987. ?
