Pump House Weddings and B&B occupies an 85-acre property along Catawissa Creek in Bloomsburg, Pennsylvania, built around 1878 as a pumping station for the world's first long-distance underground oil pipeline. Owner Doug spent more than two decades restoring the original foremen's houses and industrial brick buildings, and the property is one of the few in the country where both the foremen's homes and the large brick pump buildings still remain; the restoration was featured on This Old House in 2004. Two reception spaces occupy the historic buildings. The Brick Building, once home to the steam pumps that pressurized the pipeline, offers soaring ceilings and warehouse-style windows with a dance floor, and seats up to 170 guests for dinners and celebrations. The Studio, filled with handmade stained glass and paintings by Doug, is a more intimate space for rehearsal dinners, brunches, or receptions of up to 50. Outdoor ceremonies take place across the wooded grounds, including a "chapel in the woods," forest glades, and creek-side sites along the Catawissa. The property includes on-site lodging for roughly 23 guests across cabins, tiny houses, and suites, along with homemade breakfast service and more than three miles of hiking trails. The venue is solar-powered with EV charging stations, and couples can draw on a network of local vendors for catering, photography, flowers, and music.
