The History Museum, originally a Masonic Temple, was built in 1923. Throughout the building, Egyptian and medieval motifs are found in every room and gallery. The temple's architectural style, Norman Revival, creates the illusion of a mysterious castle. The museum's unique Masonic Temple architecture and historic charm create the perfect backdrop for your important occasion.
Siekman Room has high mullioned leaded windows on three walls, terrazzo floors and an exhibit of historic paintings and stained glass windows. Two sets of French doors open on the large lobby gallery which has tile floors, a beamed ceiling and a six-foot fireplace.
Capacity: 50 people
Approximately 1,900 square feet
Ogilvie Hall is a large hall with heavy beamed ceilings, carpeting, a stage area and antique lighting fixtures.
