This magnificent historic 19th century barn sits majestically atop a hill overlooking wetlands, meadows, the historic Homestead, and animal pastures. The peaceful, rural setting includes a pond, wetlands, livestock pens, prairie grasses, and crop fields. The barn, originally built in 1871, housed livestock and stored farm equipment serving the farm for over 100 years. The barn has been restored to capture the rustic look of the historical structure. Rentals at Salomon Farm Park help to sustain this relaxing green oasis that is in a bustling part of Fort Wayne. Your guests will be in awe of the craftmanship of the historic barn and literally "aw" out loud when they see the barn up close and meet our barnyard animals nearby at your special event. The Historic Old Barn is elegant enough for your wedding day, rustic enough for your family reunion, perfect for your child's graduation party, or fun enough for your next corporate outing.

Salomon Farm Park added a new rental space called the North Garden in 2024. It is the perfect setting for a rehearsal dinner, proposal, and/or wedding ceremony. It is surrounded by farm scenery, animals, and plenty of serene greenspace. Flowers and plants adorn the fence perimeter of the garden with two black metal gates at both the north and south ends for guests to enter thru. Strung patio lights give a whole new ambience and feel for evening events. Consider renting our rustic farm tables and chairs for your rehearsal dinner and/or wedding ceremony/reception.

The Wolf Family Center is a gorgeous modern building inspired by barn design. It has modern amenities with a full teaching kitchen. This building overlooks pristine produce gardens and is the first building on the property, welcoming all visitors to come enjoy a simpler life on the farm! The WFC was expanded in 2018 with 4,000 additional square feet added to the original building. The interior features large sliding barn doors that act as a modular wall to shut off a smaller room that can be used for a staging space for wedding parties or caterers, a safe area to store belongings during events, or it can be left open for a larger event space!
Nearly two acres of sunflowers are planted annually in the field just north of the rental space's parking lot. Not to mention our North Garden, where wedding ceremonies can take place, just south of the Wolf Family Center. We have full-blooming fields each year, which are perfect for a photo backdrop and/or a rehearsal or business dinner in the gardens. There are endless possibilities for the use of the Wolf Family Center and it's surrounding areas!

This unique walking Covered Bridge was completed in 2020. It is located on the south end of Salomon Farm Park near an untouched beautiful meadow and runs over Beckett's Creek linking the north side of the farm to it's south side. It is a wonderful place of peace where you can reflect on Mr. Don Wolf's "Keys to a Happy and Productive Life: Treat others as you would like to be treated. Be happy and have an optimistic attitude. Think for yourself, don't be a follower. Hoe to the end of the row, finish the job."
Note: No motorized vehicles are permitted to cross the bridge. Vehicles can access parking for the Covered Bridge and nearby open space off Till Road.
Bridge dimensions: 48' long and 14' wide
