A variety of spaces help make Glessner House Museum ideal for your event.

LARGE EVENTS

The Courtyard
4700 sq. ft.

Renovated in 2000, the Courtyard is one of the jewels in the Glessner House crown. A peaceful outdoor retreat, it is the perfect setting for a party or wedding ceremony and reception. This child-friendly space, which can be tented, is also ideal for outdoor birthday parties and other family celebrations.

The Coach House

Restored in 2006, this unique room originally served as the Glessners’ stables. Now it is a large, open space filled with historic details and character - perfect for your next event.

SMALLER EVENTS

With a curved bay of windows that looks out to the Courtyard, this historic space is the only one available for rental on the museum's first floor.

The Conservatory

Once an all-glass conservatory, this newly renovated space is ideal for conferences, retreats, lectures or small parties.
