One of the most charming little towns in Waukesha County is Genesee Depot.This town is full of history, and was also home to a couple that help made it famous. A monument at their grave says "Alfred Lunt and Lynn Fontanne were universally regarded as the greatest acting team in the history of the English speaking theater." They were married for 55 years and were inseparable both on and off the stage.
By the mid twenties the couple were the two most respected, most popular, most critically acclaimed, and highest pay stage actors in the country. At the height of their individual careers, they made a remarkable decision. They each took enormous pay cuts to sign on with the Theater Guild. By doing this they were able to have to clauses put in their contracts; one was that they would never act separately, and that they would not work in summer. This allowed the Lunts to retreat to ten Chimneys to retreat,recharge, and rejuvenate.
The couple would have Noel Coward, Gary Grant, Truman Capote, Lawrence Olivier, Eleanor Roosevelt, Helen Hunt, John Gielgud, Julie Harris, and much more to Ten Chimneys to entertain them, and to let them enjoy the splendor of Ten Chimneys.
Almost all of Ten Chimney's historical furnishings, hand-painted murals, enchanting personal decor, and diverse collections are intact and unchanged since the Lunts first assembled them. It is a living monument to theater and the arts, Ten Chimneys is overflowing with memorabilia, such as hand written notes from Lawrence Olivier, snapshots of the Lunts with the Queen Mother, and a large array of mementos. The beautiful grounds of Ten Chimneys can now be toured, and used for special occasions. It is an intensely popular attraction for a wide variety of individuals wishing to experience the inspiration of this historic site. There is now a "Ten Chimneys foundation" established to support exciting public programs such as theater, arts, and arts education in collaboration with an impressive list of national advisors.
Genesee township is located near the center of Waukesha County (between Waukesha and Ottawa) in the beautiful "Kettle Moraine" area of southeast Wisconsin. The area was found by German, Welsh, Irish, and English immigrants in the early 1840's. The entire area was formed 10,000 years ago by the glaciers. Now its terrain is very hilly, and the soil is shallow. One impact that made Genesee unique is the number of independent settlements in the township. There were five seperate trading centers (Genesee Village, Saylesville, Genesee Depot, North Prairie, and Wales) created by roads, railroads, and waterpower.
Today Genesee Depot is a wonderful community of restaurants, attractions, relaxation, and community events. The surrounding neighborhoods make for a extremely pleasant environment to live in.
