Some places witness history. This one hosted it.

Celebrate America's 250th at The Equinox Resort

This Equinox Golf Resort & Spa has welcomed four U.S. presidents and hosted defining moments in the nation’s past. Stand where Theodore Roosevelt delivered a campaign speech on the front lawn and experience the same timeless charm that drew Mary Todd Lincoln and her sons for a summer stay in 1864. Just down the road, Robert Todd Lincoln built his estate, forever tying the Lincoln legacy to Manchester, Vermont.

Today, The Equinox blends historic elegance with modern luxury, offering an unforgettable New England getaway in the heart of the Green Mountains. As America marks its 250th anniversary in 2026, there’s no better place to immerse yourself in authentic American heritage.
