The Yellow House
Celebrations at the Yellow House
Built in 1857, this historic pre-Civil War farmhouse is perfect for weddings, banquets, showers, and other special events. Situated on 120 acres of farmland with public hiking trails, the Italianate-style Yellow House was built by businessman and banker Rush Battles in 1858. The Battles Estate also includes the nearby White House, built by the family in 1861.
Enjoy an intimate setting with our newly renovated indoor banquet room and dining room that can accommodate up to 50 guests seated, or 100 guests cocktail-style. Indoor-only and full-facility pricing is available. Venue tours are offered on Saturdays and Sundays between 9 a.m. and 11 a.m. Please contact events@eriehistory.org to schedule yours today!
