Historic Charm for Your Special Event!
Whether it’s a small gathering or a large formal celebration, the DCA Meadowlands estate is the perfect setting for weddings, parties and corporate meetings, or events. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, our 15,000 square foot, Regency-style mansion is situated on eight acres of property. Photo opportunities abound, including a spectacular formal garden with fountain and colorful flowerbeds. Ranging from a spacious Garden Wing with attached commercial kitchen, to our boardroom or intimate library, all rooms look out to our formal garden, designed by the “Dean of American Women Landscape Architects,” Ellen Biddle Shipman. The property also includes a revitalized, four acre bird sanctuary.
