Penitentiary Glen Reservation is a 424-acre nature preserve in Kirtland, Ohio, managed by Lake Metroparks.

The grounds encompass forests, fields, wetlands, and 8.5 miles of hiking trails, and have been recognized as a "Watchable Wildlife" site by Ohio's Division of Wildlife. For private events, Forest Hall in the Nature Center accommodates up to 120 guests in a climate-controlled, wheelchair-accessible multipurpose room fitted with kitchen facilities and audio-visual equipment.

The Tudor-style clubhouse, designed by Chicago architect Howard Shaw and formally opened in 1906, has been painstakingly preserved through two rebuilds after separate fires, each time restoring rather than replacing the original character. Private events at Portage are hosted in the Directors Room and the Ballroom, whose majestic views set the stage for wedding receptions, anniversary celebrations, corporate dinners, and milestone gatherings. The club's private rooms collectively accommodate up to 500 guests. An Executive Chef and pastry team design custom menus for each event, and a dedicated Events Manager guides clients through planning and vendor coordination from first inquiry through event day. The surrounding property — an 18-hole William Langford–designed golf course, six Har-Tru tennis courts, swimming facilities, and both formal and casual dining — gives guests a full club experience as the backdrop for any occasion.

Henry's Barn
46223 US-20, Oberlin, OH 44074, USA- Spaces for 100-150 Guests
- 1 Barn
- 1 Historic Space
Henry's Barn at the North Star Preserve is one of Northeast Ohio's most extraordinary event venues — a place where genuine history, architectural character, and natural beauty converge to create an atmosphere unlike anything else in the region. Built in 1885 on the Johnson Estate in Oberlin, the barn carries the remarkable legacy of Henry R. Thomas, an African-American man who, after gaining his freedom from enslavement, devoted his life as caretaker to this very estate and barn. That legacy lives in every timber. When the structure could no longer remain on its original site, Lorain County Metro Parks undertook a meticulous, piece-by-piece relocation and reconstruction — preserving the original timber-frame construction, the distinctive mansard-style roof, and the authentic barn siding now beautifully repurposed as interior walls. The result is a space that wraps guests in genuine 19th-century craftsmanship while delivering every modern convenience. Henry's Barn accommodates up to 100 guests for weddings, private celebrations, and special events. A deck patio opens to a serene pond with an illuminated fountain — a stunning backdrop that transforms every outdoor moment into something truly memorable. Reserved exclusively for private events and special programming, the barn offers an intimacy and historic resonance that makes every gathering feel like a once-in-a-lifetime occasion.
