The spacious barn is ideal for any medium to large scale event. It is adequately separated from the Tavern, allowing for privacy, making it a desirable wedding venue. This space features high ceilings, generous floor space, flattering lighting, and a large fireplace. The Barn has easy access to restrooms and is amenable to any number of traditional or creative gatherings. As a completely renovated space, this is only a barn from the outside. It purposes as a ballroom setting in the evening and a sophisticated function room during the day.

As a modern addition to the historical Hart House, the deck is an ideal location for dining under the stars. It is the only outdoor location at The Hart House, and serves as a quiet spot for afternoon lunches and elegant dinners on warm summer nights. It provides the perfect table for those times when it’s too nice to be inside. Check for availability, as the deck location is seasonal.

Steps up from the barn, the curtained windows of this room overlook the front of The Hart House’s garden. Antique latch doors lead farther into the house, connecting two of the many staircases. As the second oldest room, the Hart Room sits on part of the original four acres granted to Thomas Hart in 1637, and named after the original proprietor. Beautiful wide-board, hardwood floors run the course of the Hart Room and it still emanates the spirit of the first owners.

The Keepers Room is the oldest, and perhaps most viewed room. Pieces from this space have been removed for exhibition at The Metropolitan Museum of Art. This room served as the kitchen for the original Hart family. On cold nights, the Keepers Room was used as a place to keep warm by members of the building’s first family. Complimented by beautiful renditions of colonial paintings and exhibiting one of the oldest standing fireplaces in America – this room is reminiscent of an eighteenth century English cottage.

In a building with as much history as The Hart House, it is not surprising to stumble across a ghost story or two. The Living Room is one of the oldest rooms in the house and the spot boasting of the most frequent ghost sightings. This room could easily double as a quaint stage set from the revolutionary period, as it showcases a large colonial fireplace and windows overlooking the garden.

This secluded, second-floor room is a luxurious space for private gatherings. The Murray Room is ideal for groups that desire private elegant dining, as it is furnished with large and comfortable wingback chairs. Complimented by a large fireplace, and separated from the neighboring room by a staircase, this is an intimate area for any gathering.

The Tavern of the Hart House includes three flat-screen televisions, wingback chairs, seating for traditional dining, as well as an array of bar seating. Colonial windows run along the eastern side of the room and the high ceiling is off-set by heavy wooden beams. It is the ideal room for watching the game, candle lit dinners by the fireplace, or enjoying cocktails and a light Tavern menu at the bar. Look for the original tea box panels, from pre-revolutionary years that still adorn the walls today. This room was first in New England to tap a keg for public consumption.
