Harn Homestead

"Nice historic property very close to State Capitol (in fact, the Harn family provided the land for the Capitol building). The main house is one of the kit houses that Sears made famous, but predates Sears. Fairly nice restoration. Other buildings are worth seeing. Price is right. Folks are friendly."

"I absolutely love Harn Homestead! The first time we met Kelly she worked around our schedules to give us a tour of the homestead. She explained everything we needed to know and even gave us recommendations as we began planning our wedding. We were able to take our engagement pictures on site with no extra cost. Kelly and her team were very flexible on letting us schedule a time do come out and do them. There are so many great places to take photos. The day before our wedding we threw them a curve ball last minute and added an extra hour and they were so accommodating and understanding. Then came our wedding day on 9/24/23. Kelly and her team had great communication and they were a huge help the day of. Merica was on sight with us and provided great customer service, helped direct people as well as vendors on where to go, and kept checking in on us to make sure we had everything we needed. I couldn’t have asked for a more perfect day and a staff of amazing women to help. The price was outstanding and the customer service was incredible throughout the entire process. We are so pleased and couldn’t have picked a better place to do our wedding! I highly recommend Harn Homestead and their incredible staff! -September 2023 Bride ❤️"

"This place is absolutely beautiful. We had our wedding here after coming to tour/visit a few months previous. We came back for engagement pics and to tour it a couple more times before the wedding (even after hours). Kelly is wonderful to work with and so accommodating. Wedding options to fit any budget as well as amenities included (tables, chairs, arch...). Plenty of options to get married on grounds and for reception spot. We chose the barn for the reception. Merica was the lady the day of our wedding and she was super friendly and patient as we picked up and put things back in place. Highly recommend the venue for wedding/celebration and when they are open to visit for their many public times to visit though out the year. Located smack dab down town it's truly amazing how they have kept this preserved throughout the 100+ year history on this 10 acres!!"

"We showed up at an off time on a whim while driving by. We were able to walk the grounds and look around. We weren't able to take one of the normal tours but the signage around the grounds were quite helpful. There is a nice collection of buildings from the late 1800's to early 1900's. Is you're in the area it is worth checking out. I'm sure the knowledge you'd get from the tour would only entrance the experience."

"Very lovely place to step back into time! I remember coming here as a child on a field trip and now as an adult with my homeschooled children. Very friendly staff. Knowledgeable on their history of the Harn family and the plantation. Recommend this for anyone. (Involves a lot of walking.)"
