About Us

A Wedding Venue with History

The Park Ballroom is located on the second floor of the historic IOOF Building, originally constructed in 1912, as a meeting hall for the International Order of Odd Fellows. While the hall served as a popular location for town meetings and social occasions, rumor has it that during Prohibition the site hosted many “spirited” events. Other fraternal organizations such as the Masons and the Eagles enjoyed the use of the hall as well as those who danced the night away at one of the many frequent balls, literally wearing out the original maple floor. Throughout the 60's, 70's and 80's the building sat vacant. Dust and quiet descended on the hall. Fortunately, the noteworthy IOOF building was purchased by brothers Jim & Terry Saunders, in the 1990’s. After a massive renovation over several years the original beauty and appeal of the timeless structure was reborn. Current owners Brett & Debbie VanSteenwyk purchased the Building in 2012 and continued hosting events in the Park Ballroom. Today, the stunning Park Ballroom, returned to its early glory, is available to host your special event
