Amazing, Beautiful and Breathtaking!

We absolutely fell in love with this place when we were looking at venues. Mary was an absolute joy to work with! She was always available to talk when we needed to, she was super helpful in answering all our questions as well as working with our vendors that we brought in!! We got married in the Artillery Barracks, and the grounds were breath taking! We are definitely looking forward to going back in the years to come and enjoy all the memories we made here!!

Beautiful Venue at a Great Price!

Highly recommend using one of the Historic Trust's venues for your wedding! We had ours at Providence Academy and had an incredible day. The venue is gorgeous, the staff are extremely communicative, friendly, and helpful, and the rental fee was super reasonable for everything that was included. We got so many compliments from our guests on the venue and are so happy with how everything went.

Perfect Christmas Wedding

Our Christmas wedding at the Marshall House was absolutely beautiful! Every step of the process working with the Historic Trust was so smooth and easy, and the team went above and beyond to accommodate our needs. We had a small wedding of 50 people, all indoors, and it was more than enough space! Plus, they decorate for Christmas, so we didn't have to do much work to make it festive and beautiful. Bottom line: you cannot beat this price, and we had a magical experience!
