Salomon Farm Park was launched as a public city park in 1996 through the generous donation of land by Chris and Maxine Salomon and their daughter, Lynne. The three discussed and conceived - perhaps twenty years earlier - the potential of their beautiful landmark farm becoming a historic working farm and city park for others to experience. With the assistance and grateful acceptance of the Fort Wayne Board of Park Commissioners and the Parks and Recreation Department, the Salomon family wishes came true. Salomon Farm Park is a true historic gem and a perfect location for your special event. With 170-acres for your guests to experience while here, including up to 50 farm animals, gardens, trails, wetlands, and greenspaces, they will be in awe of your event location! We have two large rental facilities - the Historic Old Barn (capacity 170) and the Wolf Family Center (capacity 150) as well as three smaller rental spaces - the North Garden for ceremonies, rehearsal dinners, proposals, etc. (capacity 150), the Historic Salomon Family Homestead (capacity 25), and a primitive open space by our Covered Bridge (capacity 50) all available for rent! We also offer other rental add-ons such as additional rental time, a wagon ride, goat interaction, arches, rustic farm tables and chairs, and the hanging of beautiful fabric from the architectural beams in the Wolf Family Center rental space.
