Welcome to Steppingstone Museum

Facility Rentals

The Steppingstone Museum pavilion is available to all persons without regard to race, creed, color, religion, sex, age, national origin, physical or mental disability.

Reservations will be on a first come first serve basis. All rentals will be handled through the museum office with the reserving party acknowledging pavilion policy responsibilities.

The pavilions and grounds may be rented on Saturdays, Sundays, weekdays and evenings May through October. Normal rental hours must fall between 10 a.m. and 10 p.m. The use of the farmhouse and courtyard for the wedding ceremony is also included in the rental.

Rental fees for the grounds/pavilion will be $500 for a five hour time period for your event and a one-hour period for rehearsal (between 4:30 and 6:30 on the evening prior to the wedding). A fee of $25.00 per hour will be charged for prearranged additional time, if approved by the museum.

A contract between the Steppingstone Museum

and the reserving party must be signed, accompanied by the security deposit of $150.00 and $250.00 (one-half of the rental fee) at the time of reservation. The balance of $250.00 must be paid one week prior to the event.

The pavilion and the museum grounds must be left in the same condition as they were found. The security deposit of $150.00 will be refunded within one-weekend after the event, provided the pavilion/grounds are found in the same condition, as meets the approval of the museum director.

The museum provides only the site for your event. All arrangements for catering, equipment, rental, music and other amenities are the responsibility of the reserving party. The museum also provides restrooms and a facility for trash removal.

The museum is open to the public 1 to 5pm on Saturdays and Sundays from May to October. A staff member will be present at the farm house during the time of your ceremony to insure privacy. The farmhouse will be locked promptly at 5pm when the rest of the museum closes to the public. Therefore, all personal items will be removed from the house at that time.

The museum retains the right to cancel, postpone, or change the location of any function with proper notice and explanation.
