About
Celebrate your wedding in a place where history and craftsmanship come together.
Built in 1816, the Eli Whitney Barn offers a distinctive New England setting with original timber framing, warm wood interiors, and a character that can’t be replicated. Once an agricultural workspace, it now provides an inviting, intimate backdrop for a truly memorable celebration.
The Barn comfortably accommodates up to 100 seated guests, with large doors that open onto a grassy outdoor area—perfect for a ceremony, cocktail hour, or dancing under the open sky. The space is flexible, allowing you to shape every detail to reflect your vision.
Surrounded by natural beauty, the Barn and its grounds offer exceptional photo opportunities, along with access to nearby landmarks including the Covered Bridge, the Mill River, and East Rock Park.
Available for weddings from April through early June and late August through October, the Eli Whitney Barn is a one-of-a-kind setting for a celebration that feels both timeless and personal.
