Why You'll Love This Place
A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
- This art museum and cultural center set on 90 wooded acres in southern Illinois offers a wealth of venues and exhibits for your guests to enjoy, including large-scale sculptures thoughtfully placed throughout the grounds.
- It's bright, airy, and modern. The recently expanded Mitchell Museum Performance Hall features elegant indoor and outdoor spaces as well as a full commercial kitchen. Enjoy cocktails on the patio and mingle under the stars.
- You can exchange vows beside the pond, which is surrounded by shade trees and works of art. There's also a water feature at the Schweinfurth House, a more intimate venue that can accommodate a reception indoors or on the grounds outside.
