Why You'll Love This Place
A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
- This charming train station has been beautifully refurbished to highlight its rich historical architecture, and offers a host of fun options for both weddings and rehearsal dinners.
- With its golden wood flooring and rotating collection of art, the Oliver Jensen Gallery is an awesome spot for a ceremony or intimate reception, while the Dickinson Bottling Plant's spacious, open floor plan makes it ideal for larger parties.
- For a true memory-making experience, treat your guests to a dinner aboard one of the station's vintage Pullman cars, or load your entire party aboard the beautiful Becky Thatcher riverboat for a celebration trip along the river.
