Hale Farm & Village

Hale Farm & Village is a living history museum operated by the Western Reserve Historical Society, set on 90 acres within Cuyahoga Valley National Park between Cleveland and Akron. The property encompasses 32 mid-19th-century historic structures arranged around a preserved village green, offering a setting unlike conventional event venues. Multiple spaces accommodate gatherings across a wide range of sizes. The climate-controlled Gatehouse Visitor's Center seats up to 220 guests and can connect to the adjacent Mary Jane Davis Hartwell Community Room, which holds 75. The restored 1852 Meetinghouse chapel — the focal point of the historic East Side village — seats up to 170. The open-air Carriage Pavilion, perched on a hill overlooking the farm, accommodates 120 to 150 guests, while the Carriage Manufactory, a two-story red barn with a collection of antique carriages on its first floor, seats 75 on its upper level. For larger events, the Full Farm package combines both the West Side and East Side of the property. Free parking is available for all events. Hale Farm & Village hosts weddings, receptions, rehearsal dinners, corporate gatherings, holiday parties, reunions, and a range of other private celebrations, with rental hours available after public hours.
