Special Outdoor Events held at this half-acre site on Rolesville’s North Main Street, benefit from the historic outdoor setting, perfect for intimate exhange of vows, or any other small, informal gathering. A sweeping magnolia planted by newlyweds in 1860 provides the backdrop, as the living symbol of undying love. This small site includes shady oaks, mature plantings, historic home, and other rustic antebellum features. For weddings, we suggest an on-site “vows and photos only” event coordinated with a larger reception at a nearby venue (which may provide additional options in the case of inclement weather). Check out the Rolesville Town Hall, located less than two miles south of this venue, offering a generous and appropriate multi-purpose space adequate to most reception needs.
