Renting the Gardens & Grounds.
The Centre Furnace Mansion is a unique place to hold a private party or wedding reception. Facilities available for use at Centre Furnace include the gardens and grounds, the Mansion's Hearth Room (the lowest level), a small modern kitchen, and two wheelchair-accessible restrooms.

The Hearth Room can accommodate approximately 40 people for a sit down lunch or dinner, and no more than 70 people for a standing reception. For larger affairs, people rent a tent and hold the function outside on the grounds, typically in the flat area by the sycamore tree, the gazebo and Margery & Rae's garden. The site offers several acres of beautifully landscaped grounds. There are extensive gardens at the Mansion filled with hundreds of varieties of perennials, lilacs and roses. The grounds around the Mansion can accommodate about 150-200 people. For receptions, a caterer is typically used. Please make arrangements for them to visit the site in advance. We are unable to provide dishes and utensils. People also arrange for rental of a tent and other equipment, such as chairs, tables and so on as needed. |
