Laura and the staff at the History Center were incredibly helpful and the process was seamless. The space was clean and set up beautifully done. I highly recommend using the History Center for your next party and/or event. You cannot beat the price either.

We held our Chapter’s December meeting/holiday party in the Crawford room. It is a very nice venue for our group. We had about 25 members participating. We have a potluck supper as part of our event and the kitchen, off the meeting room, is very convenient for this type of activity. Everyone seemed to enjoy the setting, in fact, I had to ask them to pack up and go at 7:30. I think they would have stayed much longer if I hadn’t ushered them out.
Parking is very accessible too. All said, it is a nice place to hold a meeting/holiday party.
