Over time the property evolved from a dairy and horse barn to a community event space, preserving its historic character while adding modern amenities.

Owners Michael and Paula Bushilla lead the operation, and Director of Events Eryka Wienke, who has been in the wedding industry since 2011, guides clients through planning and execution.
