Why You'll Love This Place
A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
- It's a 550-acre urban oasis brimming with local history. The sprawling park surrounding this 1930s-era museum encompasses gorgeously landscaped grounds and the expansive Mariner's Lake, which is ringed by the five-mile shoreline Noland Trail.
- There are plenty of stunning sites to choose from. Celebrate al fresco on a lovely lakeside overlook or in a lush garden courtyard accented by a burbling fountain and seasonal blooms... or bring the party inside, where you can dine & dance alongside a massive gold eagle figurehead!
- Mingle among the ever-changing exhibits of the museum, or treat your guests to a private tour of the award-winning USS Monitor Center. The Main Lobby offers a fabulous blend of history and modernity, with its walls of windows and stylish artwork illuminated by an 1893 lighthouse lens.
