Proceeds from Vegas in the ‘Ville benefit Whitehall House & Gardens, a historic home owned and operated by the not-for-profit Historic Homes Foundation.  Originally built in the mid-1850s as an Italianate farmhouse, the house was transformed in 1909 into the iconic Classical style mansion we know today that epitomizes the stately beauty of early 20^th century architecture.  At just under ten acres, Whitehall’s grounds offer the public multiple special gardens that are a horticultural treasure to the community.
