WEDDING & EVENT RENTALS

 The Old Lighthouse Museum and the Capt. Nathaniel B. Palmer House offer a range of options to suit most every special event. The grounds and gardens at both properties make a perfect backdrop for outdoor ceremonies and receptions in the warmer months. The Lighthouse has sweeping vistas of the sea. Larger, tented events are sometimes held here. At the Palmer House, the walled garden behind the house provides a more intimate atmosphere.  The Palmer House ground floor is also available for inside gatherings of up to fifty guests.  

All events are scheduled at the discretion of the Stonington Historical Society so as not to interfere with museum visitors.

The National Historic Landmark Capt. Palmer House also provides elegant interior space for smaller functions throughout the year.
