General Information

Private or public events may not close the museum to the general public during advertised open hours.

The rates below do not apply to holidays. Holiday rentals may be available at significantly higher rates.

All renters must be museum members. A business membership is required for company events.

Rates are subject to change without notice. Rates in effect at the time of the reservation deposit apply.

Private Events

Many rental sites are available at the museum. Also note:

A $500 non-refundable reservation deposit is due at the time of booking; this payment will be applied towards your final balance. The non-refundable reservation deposit for Lori Brock Birthdays is $50.00, and for a Chapel Ceremony it is $100.00.

Refundable cleaning deposits equal to the applicable reservation deposit are also required. The cleaning deposit will be refunded in whole, or in part, based on the condition of the rental space at the end of the rental period.
