The Great Falls Grange is located right in the heart of downtown Great Falls Virginia.  Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, this public assembly hall was built in 1929, a product of the Grange Movement which swept rural America shortly after the Civil War.  The Grange was build as a symbol of commitment to community involvement and progress, and has been a meeting and special event site throughout it’s history.

The venue has two levels, seating is generally on the upper level as shown in above photo, and we often set up the buffet on the lower level to accommodate more guest seating. If the guest count is under 100 we can set the buffet on the same level.

Another venue on the list is Hunter House in Vienna Virginia, built in 1890 by Scots immigrant John O Hunter.  It began as a small frame farm house.  Over the years the house was enlarged, but still retains much of the original character.
