Access to museum buildings during regular open hours is permitted to rental guests; however, food and drinks must be kept to the area in and around the Pavilion. If you would like to have a guided tour (or two, depending on the number in the group), an extra $5.00 per person will be added to the rental fee. Guests are not permitted to touch or climb on any artifacts, including machinery in the drive shed. Photography is allowed in the buildings.

The one room schoolhouse can be available for small concerts or lectures. It can seat approximately 40 people in a mixture of benches and old school desks. It has excellent acoustics and access to electricity. The use of just one chalkboard is permitted but other artifacts must be left untouched.

This 1860s inn is the heart of the Museum and artifacts must not be touched by guests. The building houses an old tavern that was used up until the 1890s. With permission from the Curator / Administrator, the bar can be licensed and used in a limited capacity for short periods of time. For example, it could be used for a “cocktail hour” while a wedding party is having photos taken.

Set on close to 5 acres, the Museum is a grassed and partially tree covered site with some gravel pathways between its buildings. There is ample space to set up rented tents of various sizes; however, their location must be discussed with the Curator / Administrator in order to avoid drainage tiles and buried electrical cables. Any required temporary building permits and inspections will be the responsibility of the Renter. The grounds are ideal for photography or outdoor ceremonies of any kind.

The Williams Pavilion (the Pavilion) measures 44’ x 55’ and is constructed from the post and beams of an historic barn. It is open-air with a large roof, but no walls.

With rectangular tables, the Pavilion can seat up to 130 people. When set up with theatre style seating, the Pavilion can seat up to 150 people.
