The Wilburton Inn is a historic hotel, restaurant, and estate located in Manchester Village, Vermont.
Built in 1902 by Albert Gilbert, a wealthy Chicago industrialist,[1] the Wilburton was at the time the largest privately held estate in the region.
[citation needed] James Wilbur, president of a Chicago bank, purchased the 400-acre (160 ha) estate in 1906 and named it Wilburton Hall.
[1][3] When the Wilbur family's fortune declined, the farmland was sold and the mansion was leased to the Windsor Mountain School, a school for refugee children of prominent families from Nazi Europe.
