a mountain side and a grassy field. Located at
the top of the small hill at the front of the
Croquet Court is a wooden structure called "The
Summer House" that will lend an extra Western
flair to your event. A wooden stage is available
for the front of the Croquet Court for
performances, bands, mixers, wedding parties,
etc. There are folding chairs (about 100)
available for this area. Tent rental is extra.

pm. Capacity is 150 people.

terrace is covered with rock pavers and
surrounded by the historic gardens that date
back to the early 20th Century. This shady area
makes the perfect place for a summer luncheon,
tea or small special event. Here guests will
enjoy the beauty of nature, the smell of flowers
and the songs of the birds. The Terrace is
available from 10 am to 9 pm. Capacity is 35
people.
