We couldn't have asked for a more perfect venue for our wedding reception in November. It was very budget friendly and had so many great features, including the freedom to choose your own catering or cater the party yourself. Carly the camp director was beyond helpful and very communicative from the start. She answered my many emails and phone calls and gave great suggestions. Franklin Hall is very spacious inside, and has a nice large deck outside and a grassy area for people to spread out. They had plenty of tables for us to use for food and seating for guests, as well as table cloths to rent for a very reasonable price. Being able to set up the day before made the day of the reception much less stressful. The amphitheater was perfect for our band. Being able to offer camper cabins for our friends to stay in was so convenient, since there aren't many lodging options very close by, or lyft or uber availability. Our guests were very impressed with the venue. I would highly recommend Camp Kiwanis for any event.

Dear Couples, Thanks for your interest in our exclusive, historic farm! We have several openings for 2025. We are a small family farm available during the Spring and Fall only. Our ancestors established this property in 1826. We named our venue this because we treasure the history of this space, and know there were many long, happy marriages on this land. There are several natural backdrops from which to choose for your ceremony; a log barn built in the 1820s, under an oak tree that is almost 200 years old, next to the pond on the dock, or by the large barn with a few curious horses behind you. Then walk across the green grass to your celebration under a tent, with or without a dance floor, lighting, tables, chairs and linens of your choosing. All of our vendors provide the chairs, tables, tableware, tent, linens, bar services, catering, photography, music, etc.
