The Great Hall is the premiere History Center location. Framed by vintage vehicles including a Conestoga wagon, an antique fire engine, a stainless steel Ford, an H.J. Heinz Hitch, and a full-sized, classic Pittsburgh trolley, the Great Hall is a wonderfully memorable venue for celebrating any historic occasion.

Originally part of the Chautauqua Lake Ice House, the Great Hall features a two-story grand staircase, ideal for fun, unique photo opportunities, high, vaulted brick ceilings, and the original steel beams.

For a dinner event that includes an area for dancing, it graciously seats 150–200. It can be intimately set for 50 guests yet can accommodate as many as 260 seated banquet-style when no dancing is planned. For a cocktail reception, the History Center can accommodate 100–400 guests.

Available for rental events after 5:00 p.m., this historic location rents for $2,750 for five hours or less.
