Due to the historic nature of the property we have prepared the following guidelines and restrictions to ensure the preservation and maintenance of the buildings, the safety of your guests, and the consideration of our neighbors: Harper House/Hickory History Center is contracted in 3-hour increments at a charge of $275.00. An additional charge of $75.00 per hour will be incurred for any overage beyond the initially agreed upon time frame. This pricing includes the use of the facility before and after the event; therefore, be sure to take into consideration time to be spent both setting up and breaking down the event. Clean-up must be done on the day of your event, unless special arrangements are made with CCHA staff. CCHA is not responsible for items left in an unsecured location overnight
