The Honey Hollow Nature Center event space is in a renovated barn located on the Honey Hollow Watershed, a National Historic Landmark.
The barn was built in 1934 and designed by the renowned architect, R. Brognard Okie, known for his Colonial Revivalist style and restoration work.
With its striking fieldstone exterior and sunny interior featuring a cathedral ceiling, this space offers a setting that is anything but ordinary. Inside, you’ll find live animals as well as animal and historical displays. Outside, you’ll be surrounded by trails, meadows, forests, wetlands, and streams. A patio with picnic tables and a fire pit is another welcome feature.
It’s a unique space that keeps guests engaged from start to finish. We can accommodate groups of up to 120 people – perfect for baby showers, family reunions, corporate retreats, and similar occasions.
