The Beginning of a Legacy

A solid foundation is essential to establishing a lasting legacy. At Circa 1856 we are building upon the foundation of "The Red Barn Experience" -- one of Northwest Indiana's most coveted and picturesque farm venues.

A New name. . .

A New Experience!

With a frest outlook, Circa 1856 is dedicated to providing the perfect backdrop for hosting your wedding, graduation party, family reunion, corporate picnic or other specialty community gathering. Our clients will be fully supported by our professional services, as well as provided access to some of the most talented event vendors in the region.

The big red barn is an all original 2-story structure, built in 1910, and will accomodate 75 guests with spaces for food and bar included. Your guests will be in awe of the hand hewn beams and wooden peg construction of this majestic barn.

Open Air Pavillion

Our open air pavillion features a natural stone fireplace with surrounding deck overlooking the pond and fountain. The pavillion comfortably accommodates 200 guests. Rental includes use of the adjacent "Roosting House" for bar and food.
