Theater greats ALFRED LUNT AND LYNNE FONTANNE maintained a summer home, TEN CHIMNEYS, in Genesee Depot in Waukesha County. It's now open to the public for tours and theatrical events. Lunt, who was from Milwaukee, loved the rustic life; the couple farmed and sold produce at a roadside stand as well as entertained such figures as Noel Coward.
