Farwell Hall

Your Perfect Space for Gatherings & Celebrations

Welcome your guests to the Natural Elegance of Farwell Hall

Our main venue at Folklore Village, designed with the timeless appeal of a country barn. The hall’s 1,500-square-foot interior showcases a gleaming maple dance floor and a striking inlaid walnut Moravian star at its center, providing a memorable focal point for wedding receptions, concerts, workshops, or community celebrations. A vaulted ceiling and hand-forged wrought-iron chandeliers cast a warm glow over every gathering, making the space feel at once grand and intimate.

Whether you’re planning a festive dance, a formal reception, or a private retreat, Farwell Hall is an inspiring backdrop for any event

On the first floor, you’ll find a commercial kitchen ideal for catering or potluck-style meals, as well as a welcoming entryway that leads to a balcony and a back porch— offering sweeping views of the surrounding prairie and breathtaking sunsets.
