Rent Körner’s Folly and the John & Bobbie Wolfe Visitors Center for a Memorable Event

Körner’s Folly and the John & Bobbie Wolfe Visitors Cener feature beautiful, unique spaces to accommodate private meetings, wedding ceremonies, and performing arts productions. Due to the historic nature of Körner’s Folly, seated and standing capacities, as well as accessibility, are limited. For handicap-accessible events, programs, meetings, and other needs, we recommend exploring the John & Bobbie Wolfe Visitors Center.

Visitors Center Community Room

The Community Room, inside the John & Bobbie Wolfe Visitors Center, is a state-of-the art gathering place with access to a kitchenette as well as all interior amenities of the Visitors Center. This room is a versatile space for presentations, showers, receptions, and educational programming for use by businesses, local non-profits, and individuals. The Community Room is 1, 230 sq. ft. in size. Room capacity is 72 seated with rectangle or round tables, and 125 standing.

Reception Room

The most ornate room in the house, the Reception Room was used by the Körner family to entertain guests and is ideal for small receptions and meetings. Seated capacity is 24; standing room capacity is about 60, depending on the arrangement of furniture and tables. The historic furniture cannot be moved out of the room for the rental but can be rearranged with special event staff consultation.

Cupid’s Park Theatre

With twenty-six-foot ceilings and a stage, Cupid’s Park Theatre offers a unique entertainment venue and can accommodate 50 seated or standing guests.

Lawn

The grassy area adjacent to the main building can also be rented for an additional fee to be determined by size and nature of event. Seated or standing capacity is 200.

Other Spaces

The public restroom on the first floor will be accessible to event guests. All other rooms will be roped off or closed to the public unless express permission is granted by the Körner’s Folly Foundation prior to the event.
