Our historic Shelton House grounds include views of the beautiful, Charleston-style family farmhouse, surrounded by gardens and the early 20th century barn that provide an inviting venue for parties, dinners, weddings, meetings and a wide variety of other events.
The Shelton House Barn is a Pennsylvania Dutch Style Dairy Barn that W.T. Shelton had built in the early 1900’s. Originally, the barn was used to house milk cows and other livestock. The barn was later converted into meeting, event, and display space for historical artifacts related to agriculture, and bucolic crafts.
Southern hospitality meets rustic charm in this welcoming and laid back space. Ideal for intimate gatherings, the historic Shelton House promises happy get togethers that harken to a simpler time in this mountain Historic Site.
Site Amenities
The Shelton House house, barn, and grounds feature space for meetings, parties, luncheons, dinners, weddings, and receptions.
