About Walnut Hall Estate

As you already know, before we bought the property, Henry T. Rainey was once the proud owner of the sprawling farm. The name ‘Walnut Hall’ came from the fact that the interior walls were paneled with black walnut. Inside those walls the Rainey’s furnished their home with antiques and collectibles, which we continued by doing the same for the venue. 

Henry T. Rainey spared no expense when building Walnut Hall because he wanted to encourage people to visit. In fact, the Rainey’s would signal people were welcome by flying the American flag; that exact flag pole still stands in front of the Main House today. The property also once had a wading pool and playground for children, a golf course, swimming lake, horseback riding trails and tennis courts for the adults, an additional lake for boating and swimming, picnic grounds, a teahouse and flower gardens. To top it all off, the Rainey’s loved to display their herd of Japanese deer, Sika-Siko, which he obtained by trading a porcupine to a zoo. 

While the property is no longer open to the public, nor does the property boast the same amenities it once did. We are happy to be able to bring Walnut Hall Estate back to life and honor its deep rooted history, while allowing couples to celebrate their love stories with friends and families!
