Planning Resources and Frequently Asked Questions
Virtual tours of rental spaces, floor plans and dimensions, setup options with examples, and frequently asked questions to assist event planners in visualizing their event.
Is alcohol permitted with rental spaces?
Alcohol is not permitted in the open areas of the site. This includes grounds, picnic area and pavilions. You may serve alcohol inside the Conference Center and Brazos Overlook room, but it must always remain inside the building.
Is catering included in the rental of facilities?
No, we do not provide catering with our rentals, but I can provide you with a list of local catering businesses.
Can I come the day before my event to set up/decorate?
You can come the day before your event in some instances, but it is not guaranteed. You will need to speak with the site rental coordinator to confirm if that is an option for you.
Do I need to check in at the Visitor Center before my event?
You do not need to check in when you arrive at the site. However, your guests will need to come to the Visitor Center to pick up their (free) wristbands if they would like to tour the Townsite, the Star of the Republic Museum or Barrington Living History Farm.
