You have made it to the birthplace of the world-famous "Atlanta Stove Works" factory, which also happens to be one of the most hostile and gorgeous deserts in the world. In 1889, the same year that Benjamin Harrison was inaugurated as president of the United States, the Atlanta Stove Works brought the Barrett Range, an innovative cooking device made of cast iron, to the city of Atlanta. Krog Street was the location of the brand-new building that was constructed in the first year that it was in use. The interior is essentially identical to how it was found when it was initially discovered by explorers. You will be able to relive the excitement that they had through your own experience. The restaurant "Superica," which is currently located in the completely renovated factory, is a lively dining room that serves scrumptious Mexican and American cuisine. This cuisine may be more familiar to you under the name "Tex-Mex." Real works of craftsmanship are displayed here in addition to the various curios that may be purchased at this location. The atmosphere of the Old West, which has been preserved, can be enjoyed by all of the guests.

Outdoors, three meadow areas spread across the grounds provide flexible ceremony and reception space for gatherings of up to 120 guests, with access to restrooms, a kitchen, changing rooms, and electrical service in the Visitor Center.

South Union Shaker Village is a historic site in Auburn, Kentucky, preserving the legacy of a Shaker community that flourished from 1807 until 1922. Nine original structures remain on the grounds, including the 1824 Centre House and the 1875 Grain Barn, each restored to reflect the craftsmanship and communal values that defined Shaker life. For private events, the village offers two distinct settings. The Meadows provide an open-air pastoral backdrop with three location options — the North Meadow behind the Visitor Center, the Barn Meadow in front of the historic grain barn, and the Ministry Meadow in a grove behind the Ministry Shop — each accommodating up to 120 guests with access to restrooms, a kitchen, and electric service. The South Union Hotel, built in 1869 as a railroad hotel, hosts smaller gatherings of approximately 60 guests on its first floor, which includes three dining rooms, an enclosed sun porch suited to buffet service, and a large catering kitchen. Both spaces welcome licensed outside caterers and live or recorded music, and the grounds serve as a backdrop for photography throughout an event day.
