Njengoba uhamba ngezizathu zeCranwell Resort, uhamba ngomlando. Eminyakeni edlule, uCranwell usebenze njengekhaya lezimboni ezicebile, abefundisi, ababhali, abafundi, abagibeli begalufu, nabathandi bamasiko eMassachusetts. Indawo ephambili yale ndawo, enokubukwa kwayo okungajwayelekile ngamaBerkshires, yindlu ephakeme yesitayela saseTudor, ebuse emaphandleni isikhathi esingaphezu kwekhulu leminyaka. Umlando weCranwell uhlanganiswe izindaba eziningi zesikhathi esihle phakathi kuka-1880 no-1920 owaziwa ngokuthi yi-Gilded Age.
Ngo-1853, uMfundisi uHenry Ward Beecher wathenga iBlossom Hill, lapho kumi khona iCranwell Mansion, ngamaRandi ayizi-4,500 100. Wayeyithanda imibono esesiqongweni segquma futhi kulapho-ke khona lapho amemezela khona, "Ngisuka lapha ngiyakwazi ukubona wona kanye amagquma ezulu". Le yimibono engabonakala namhlanje lapho uhlala eRose Terrace kusihlwa lapho amaqembu ayinganekwane enzeka khona eminyakeni engaba yikhulu edlule. UMfundisi Beecher wayekhuthele kuma-suffrage abesifazane kanye nasezinhlanganweni ezilwa nobugqila. Wayenezifiso zikamongameli ezaqedwa yindaba ehlazisayo, ngakho-ke, kwasala udadewabo uHarriet Beecher Stowe ukuthi afune udumo ngencwadi yakhe ethengisa kakhulu yokulwa nobugqila, Uncle Tom's Cabin.
UGeneral John F. Rathbone wathenga le ndawo kwaBeecher ngo-1869 futhi waqala ukwakha ngokuhambisa indlu yepulazi kaBeecher eceleni kwegquma ukuze ikhaya lakhe elisha libe nombono ocacile wendawo yasemaphandleni. Indlu ayakhayo, iWyndhurst, yayinkulu nganoma yiziphi izindinganiso zosuku futhi yayakhiwe kumahektare angama-380. Ngasikhathi sinye, emuva kwegquma, omunye umndeni wawusakha enye “indlu encane”. UCaptain Naval Navigation wase-United States uJohn S. Barnes, oyi-Flag Officer yeNorth Atlantic Fleet ngesikhathi seMpi Yombango, wathenga lo mhlaba ngo- $ 10,000 ngo-1882 futhi wakha iColdbrooke manje eyaziwa ngokuthi iBeecher's Cottage nengxenye yendawo yaseCranwell.
UJohn Sloane, isihlobo samaVanderbilts futhi ongumnikazi wenkampani edumile yefenisha, uW & J Sloane, waba ngumnikazi olandelayo wendawo lapho akha ikotishi lakhe ngo-1894. Ngemuva kokubhidliza ipulazi likaRathbone iWyndhurst neBeecher, uSloane wakha elinye I-Wyndhurst, ephikisana nobukhulu nobuhle bokuqala. Wabuye wathuma uFrederick Law Olmsted, umakhi wezakhiwo odumile owadala iCentral Park yaseNew York ukuklama izizathu.
Ngemuva kokuthi indodakazi kaSloane u-Evelyn ethengise ifa lakhe eqenjini labathuthukisi baseFlorida ngo-1925, le ndawo yaqhutshwa okwesikhashana njengeBerkshire Hunt ne-Country Club. U-Edward Cranwell wabe eseyithenga ngo-1930 futhi kamuva wanikeza leli lifa iSociety of Jesus of New England ngo-1939, ukuze liphendulwe libe isikole esizimele sabafana esiqanjwe ngomuntu obapha ngesandla esivulekile. Ngemuva kokusebenza iminyaka eminingi, isikole siyehla, savala iminyango yaso ngo-1975.
Namuhla iCranwell, ngobukhulu bayo bokuqala obubuyiselwe, ichuma njengeNdunankulu yezindawo ezine zokuvakasha. Indawo yokuvakasha inikeza amakamelo e-deluxe ayi-114 atholakala ezakhiweni ezahlukahlukene: i-Founder's Cottage, i-Olmstead Manor, iBeecher's Cottage (eyayiyiColdbrooke), neMansion (eyayiyiWyndhurst phambilini). ICranwell futhi iyikhaya leSpa esezingeni lomhlaba eCranwell, elinye lama-spas amakhulu kunawo wonke eNortheast. Inkundla yokudlala igalofu kaCranwell yemigodi engu-18 iyona eyakhiwe nguStiles noVan Cleek. Ebusika, iqhwa liguqula inkambo ibe yipharadesi le-cross-country skier. Kuphekwa ukudla okumnandi e-Wyndhurst nase-Music Room kaCranwell, kanti imali yokugibela etholakalayo ingatholakala eSloane's Tavern unyaka wonke. Unyaka ngamunye, noma nje izinkampani ezivela emhlabeni wonke zihlangana lapha ukuhlangana, uCranwell udlala imishado yezincwadi yazo zonke izilinganiso.
