Towne Hall West
All the beauty and charm of Towne Hall but half of the space for smaller gatherings of up to 80 seated guests.
Our hand-crafted knotty alder wood doors are pulled closed to divide our larger Towne Hall in half to provide space for smaller gatherings, without losing the character of the fuller Towne Hall space. This room also connects to the adjacent Wine Room.

Towne Hall East
All the beauty and charm of Towne Hall but half of the space for smaller gatherings of up to 80 seated guests.
This half portion of the Towne Hall space has a dropped ceiling providing for a cozier feel and enhanced acoustics for smaller gatherings than our larger Towne Hall space. This room also offers a 9’ x 12’ drop-down projection screen and a lofted projection system which can be used for video/slide presentations or television.
