Events at the SMHS Museum

South Mountain Heritage Society provides a beautiful, intimate space for small weddings and gatherings. 

Through a century and a half of service as a house of worship, our historic home was the scene of countless wedding ceremonies. South Mountain Heritage Society continues this tradition through the rental of our building for wedding services as well as other small gatherings. 

The historic sanctuary of the museum is equipped with seating for up to 100 guests and the chancel area retains its altar furnishings which can be used in a ceremony. There is a historic pipe organ in the sanctuary which can be played, upon request, for services.
