Rental Reviews

Read a review from one of our many visitors:

“The Atwood House and Museum is a treasure! Not only is it a wonderful place to visit, it is a great place to hold a special event. Kevin Wright and his staff were so welcoming and helpful. The Atwood Museum elevated our Festival of Trees event to a level of magic and elegance. We’ll be back!” Lynne P. Chatham Garden Club

“We recently hosted a brunch for family and friends on our wedding weekend. We rented The Atwood House Museum and Stallknecht Barn and were so pleased with our event! …They were so helpful with planning table locations and even working with our caterer to set up the buffet location before we arrived. Our guests ate in the mural barn and then were met by a handful of wonderfully informed docents who toured our guests through the museum to learn about Chatham’s history…Guests were impressed by the museum’s quality. Huge success — highly recommend the Stallknecht Mural Barn to anyone looking to host a gathering.”
