Facilities Rentals at Fort
Meigs
Availability:
Fort Meigs rents areas on a
first-come, first-served basis. Functions at Fort Meigs will
not begin before 7:00 am and must end at or by 11:00 pm. Fort Meigs does not conduct rentals
on Mondays or Tuesdays.
Space:
Fort Meigs rents its
conference room, classrooms, and other facilities as
available. In order to preserve the past, Fort Meigs
prohibits renting the historical space inside of the
reconstructed fort. The grounds outside the fort are
available for rental and ideal for various outdoor events
such as weddings, receptions, and company cookouts.
The Harrison
Room is located
within our 14,000 square foot Visitor Center and can hold up
to 100 people. Our conference room seats up to 20 people. The grounds
outside of the fort are quite large and can accommodate
several hundred people depending on the event.
Cost:
Fort Meigs rents facilities
in four hour blocks. Food and alcohol must be served by a
licensed caterer with proof of insurance.** Set up time and tear down time are included in the four hour
block.
Six foot rectangular tables
and plastic chairs are included in the cost of renting the
classrooms. Fort Meigs does not provide linen service for the tables and
the tables can not be used for outdoor rentals. Tents for
outdoor rentals are the responsibility of the rental party. Tents can be set up
one day prior to the event and must be removed no later than
24 hours after the end of the event. Most tent rental companies can
also provide tables and chairs with the tent rental.
Entrance into the fort and
museum during open hours is available in your rental price
for an additional cost. Presentations or tours of the museum
by historical interpreters dressed in historic clothing can
be arranged for after-hours rentals. These programs are
based on the availability of the historical interpreter.
Please call for prices.
Steps to reserve a
date:
Please call or email Fort Meigs to see if the date and
time you wish to rent the facilities are available. An
employee will gather contact information if the
date is available and send you a rental agreement.
A deposit, generally 50% of
your charges, accompanied by a signed rental agreement
reserves the date. Fort Meigs has a flexible policy if
you need to cancel or
reschedule your event. The remainder of the balance is
generally due one month prior to your event and is notated
on your rental agreement.
Catering:
Meals must
be provided by a licensed caterer. Fort Meigs has no exclusive
