"It was amazing! The venue was clean with a great layout that easily accommodated our guests. The grounds are stunning, every stop afforded lovely pictures. I cannot say enough of Schumacher!" - Jeri, 2022
Schumacher Farm Park offers two unique facilities for rent: the Center for Rural History and the Historic Farmyard. The Center for Rural History is a modern barn structure with exposed beams and 1920s farm decor. The Historic Farmyard is an open-air facility that includes access to the 1906 historic barn as well as the outdoor area surrounding the barn including the fire pit. The chart below offers an overview of the two spaces. Rental is offered by the hour, half day, or full day, and we also offer a weekend package for weddings.
