ROTHSCHILD PAVILION

If you're having a large wedding and need ample space, the Rothschild Pavilion is the perfect place for you! A showplace for more than a century, the Historic Rothschild Pavilion, built in 1911, features a 6,760 square foot dance floor constructed of 1 ½” inch maple strips supported by 24 large railcar springs atop granite stone foundations. These springs give the vast floor flexibility and strength, while providing a wonderful surface for dancing. The "floating" dance floor is believed to be the only one of its kind in the entire United States.
