About The Old 56

The Old 56 is a historic barn venue built in 1907 on the former Worthwhile Frost Dairy Farm. Weddings can include an indoor or outdoor ceremony and a reception in the barn’s upper level, with visible rafters and space for up to 250 guests. The venue also offers a separate bridal suite, a groom’s space, and a four-bedroom farmhouse included in wedding packages. Tables, chairs, wooden benches, and church pews are included; couples may bring their own catering and beer and wine. The barn has no central heating or air conditioning, though portable air conditioners and fans are available. The venue also hosts other private celebrations, and nearby hotel accommodation is identified a quarter mile away.
