Old Rugged Barn is under new management. We are in McLean County in central Illinois just minutes form Bloomington-Normal. We offer a wide variety of public and private gatherings. There is always something to celebrate!! Gatherings open to the public include Craft and Vendor Markets, July 4 open House, live performances, and Comedy. Adding more for public is in the works! I look forward to visiting with you and you may contact me through email, web site, Facebook, or phone *NOT DISPLAYED* ). Once we have gone over some basic information, I will direct you to our Director of Operations Dorothy who can schedule a tour to outline specifics and go over the contract. We are unique in a number of ways. The barn is over 100 years old! We have commendations from Chamber of Commerce, Barnkeepers, Rt 66 Byway, and Illinois House of Representatives! We are one of only three venues to have achieved the special use permit which is required by McLean County to offer such events to the public. We offer flexibility, assistance from wedding coordinator and decorator, and peace of mind that you create the event you envision.
