The Trust's headquarters on Gravelly Brook Road is a beautiful spot for private functions. Set on the Emmons Preserve, the property features a manicured lawn, apple trees, flower gardens, wild fields and a forested backdrop. The buildings itself boasts a large greatroom with vaulted ceilings, fieldstone fireplace and handsome woodwork. It also features a wrap-around deck, full kitchen, spacious function room and three handicapped restrooms.
Our facililty has the capacity to seat 40 people in the greatroom and 80 people in the function room. Tables and chairs for 100 are available for use. For larger events, tents may be set up on the lawn. Parking is unlimited; the lot can hold about 30 cars and the road can be used for additional parking as well. We are a DIY venue set on a nature preserve; your event decor, caterer, entertainment, and schedule are completely up to you.
We offer rentals from as short as a weekday evening to a full weekend wedding. The rental includes the use of the building and grounds for the entire rental period, giving you plenty of time to set up, party down, and clean up. Weekend rentals are from Friday afternoon at 4pm through Sunday evening. This allows you the time to setup/breakdown and host several activities on site.
