Corporate and Nonprofit Events

Ellwood House Museum spaces make the perfect setting for corporate meetings, training sessions, retreats and team gatherings. Featuring traditional and unique spaces, the Ellwood House Museum has the perfect setting to make your event memorable and special.

Our Hearthside Room is fully equipped to host your next meeting and presentation with a drop-down AV screen and projector. Able to accommodate seating for up to 80, the room can be set to any configuration required from traditional lecture seating to board meetings to dinner and networking sessions.

Our Ellcourt space is an unforgettable setting, perfect for hosting dinner receptions and special events. Our Music Room can accommodate an AV screen for presentations, while the rest of the first floor remains open for entertainment and dining. With a full service kitchen, bringing in caterers is easy.

Our 10 acre grounds are the perfect setting for relaxing breaks and strolls around historic buildings and woodland forests.
