Gaze Into Star-studded Skies

Whether it's balmy summer nights, the teasing warmth of spring, or the lightest crispness of fall, you and your guests can gaze into star-studded skies from our 10,000 square foot outdoor Central Plaza.

Located between the museum and Cheatham Hall, the plaza is the newest addition to our facilities. Its 10,000 square feet are shaped in an ellipse and the plaza's steps, ramps, and railings offer graceful lines and curves that provide a central focal point to our site.

The Central Plaza offers ample space for outdoor events, displays, or shows. For audience events, the plaza offers seating space for up to 300 in a gentle arc of its stair-step design. Plus, a drive-up ramp allows for easy plaza-level delivery from the street.

We have several combination packages available with other buildings to meet your kitchen and restroom needs.
