The Victorian inspired gardens at the Fall River Historical Society offer a lush, colorful venue for private parties, wedding ceremonies and receptions, or the perfect backdrop for photographs. Intimate lawns and bluestone-paved terrace feature established plantings and period garden ornaments, including a rare, nineteenth century cast iron gazebo, the only one remaining in situ in Fall River.
Various areas can be tented to suit your needs via the services of an outside firm recommended by the FRHS, which can also be contracted for rental or furnishings.
The location is very affordable for small- to medium-sized parties, with a suggested maximum seating capacity of 100 guests.
