THE WEDDING VENUE

Cherry Hollow Farm brings together elements of America’s industrial and agricultural past in a single, carefully restored setting. The buildings and materials were assembled from remnants of 19th- and early-20th-century textile mills, power plants, and farmsteads dating from roughly 1840 to 1930, along with pieces from other historic sites across the country. Over the course of eight years, these materials were thoughtfully repurposed and integrated into the farm, creating a place that reflects craftsmanship, reuse, and a sense of history without trying to recreate any one moment in time.To learn more about this unique property, visit their website - <a href="https://www.cherryhollowfarm.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.cherryhollowfarm.com/</a>
