A trained staff ensures a seamless event while providing an exquisite setting for your big day. Large dance floors, head tables, and bars can accommodate up to 300 guests in the magnificent ballroom and the romantically exquisite barn. Both venues are air-conditioned. The terraces and lawns provide for a seamless transition between the indoors and the outdoors. At the foot of Catoctin Mountain and conveniently located along Rt 15, Springfield Manor is an unmistakably prominent historic mansion that should not be missed. The Manor, which was built in 1774, can accommodate huge formal events as well as small intimate parties, and it also has eight luxurious apartments for overnight guests. The rebuilt bank barn serves as the tasting room for the Winery, Distillery, and Brewery, as well as a gathering spot for special events. Springfield Manor is a 130-acre estate that lies atop its own limestone aquifer, which generates the trademark Limestone Spring Water after which the estate was called. Grapes, lavender, corn, and hay are among the crops now being produced. Springfield is home to a thriving apiary with 35 hives in operation. On the farm, you can see a diverse range of wildlife including hawks and falcons, white-tailed deer (including mule deer), groundhogs, turkey, and even a black bear. Acres of mature trees dot the landscape, along with one-of-a-kind specimens such as the Buckeye and Linden trees, which were imported from Germany centuries ago. Every now and again, one or more of our fainting goats will pay a visit to one of our winery guests.

Our stately Tobacco Barn, vineyard, cut flower farm, rolling acres of lavender, and apiary, all built in the 1930s, will leave you in wonder of what we have to offer. 2005-2007 Buchanan Hall was determined to be in need of repair in 1942 after an inspection of the building's structure. It was decided to form a new trustee committee, which included Mrs. Paul Mellon as Chairman, Lieut. Walter J. Williams as Vice Chairman, Rozier Dulany as secretary, and Mrs. Joseph G. Gibson as treasurer, with Mrs. Paul Mellon serving as Chairman. Mrs. William G. Fletcher and Mrs. Thomas Glascock were also on the committee, which met once a month. The renovation of the building proceeded as planned, with funds raised through private contributions solicited by the committee's members. Upon completion, an item titled "Upperville's Latest Community Project is Brought to a Close" ran in the Fauquier Times-Democrat on November 5, 1942, with the headline "Upperville's Latest Community Project is Brought to a Close." According to the report, "the building will be available for use by churches, humanitarian organizations, the Red Cross, and the Boy Scouts at no cost." For dances and private gatherings, there will be a little cost levied. Additionally, in the event that Washington is evacuated, the hall will be required for hospital or canteen operations." Weddings For Brides and Grooms seeking an affordable yet timeless country setting for their special day, Buchanan Hall is a one-of-a-kind wedding venue in the Scottish Highlands. Galas and other special occasions The Hall's neoclassical style, combined with its beautiful stucco front, adds elegance and historical significance to your important occasion. Parties and other gatherings Buchanan Hall is the perfect venue for your next big event. The Hall is a basic yet traditional location for any occasion, from birthdays to retirement parties to holiday parties and all in between.
