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, the Wilburton was at the time the largest privately held estate in the region. James Wilbur, president of a Chicago bank, purchased the 400-acre (160 ha) estate in 1906 and named it Wilburton Hall. Wilbur was known for his research into the historical Vermont revolutionary Ira Allen as well as his generosity to the University of Vermont. 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. In 1945, Wilburton Hall became the Wilburton Inn, an exclusive resort. It was purchased in the 1970s by General Tire/ R.K.O., a conglomerate, which used the property as an executive retreat. Albert J. Levis and Georgette Wasserstein Levis purchased the Inn in 1987 from RKO General Tire. By 1987, the estate holdings had been reduced to 25 acres (10 ha) of land. The owners are, respectively, a Greek-born retired psychiatrist, art collector, and educator and the sister of financier Bruce Wasserstein and playwright Wendy Wasserstein.The Wilburton Inn is a Member of Historic Hotels of America.

Founded and directed by Albert Levis, M.D., the museum brings together a global collection of contemporary and historical pieces of artwork. The museum is located on the grounds of the Wilburton Inn in Manchester, Vermont. The museum also holds traveling exhibits throughout New England. The museum features four permanent exhibits: "The Gorski Retrospective: The Science of the Process"; "The Sculptural Trail: The Quantification of the Process"; "The Metaphoria Murals: The Universality of the Process"; and "The Panels of the Wizard of Oz: The Integrative Potential of the Process". The Gorski Retrospective features over a hundred canvases of the artist Henry Gorski, illustrating his psychological, emotional, and religious development. Presented chronologically, the exhibit illustrates cycles of conflict and resolution present within the artist's paintings. The Sculptural Trail presents the evolutions of religious paradigms, tracing the development of religion and its impact on society. The Metaphoria Murals illustrate Levis' psychological research, depicting diverse cultural models of resolving conflict, while highlighting universal patterns and common structures. The Panels of the Wizard of Oz deconstruct the story of The Wizard of Oz, analyzing the characters' unique identities, their personal journeys, and the power of Oz.These four exhibits document Levis' research into the harmonics of the creative process as a physiological homeostatic response to stress. Levis detailed this method in his books Conflict Analysis: The Formal Theory of Behavior and Conflict Analysis Training, publications that evaluate the structure of unconscious dynamics. The Gorski Retrospective was exhibited in 2009 at the Chaffee Art Center in Rutland, Vermont, as well as in Burlington, Vermont, at the Main Street Landing Gallery at Union Station during July and August 2011.
