A Unique Historic Event Venue
If you're looking for a truly unique and intimate setting for your event, we invite you to consider Oakes Ames Memorial Hall. Designed by world-renowned architect H.H. Richardson in the late 1800s, the Hall is a National Historic Landmark and a favorite of photographers.
Approached by terraced steps set into natural surroundings designed by famed landscape architect F.L. Olmsted, the Hall is a dramatic presence in Massachusetts' North Easton village. The town itself reflects the days of yesteryear, with rolling pastures, open spaces and a treasure trove of period architecture.
Our 2024-25 Winter Concert Series kicks off soon with Divas with a Twist visiting the Hall on December 6! Steve Smith and the Nakeds play New Year's Eve, while Disco Dream and World Premier Band take the stage in February and May respectively. Tickets for the first two shows are available now. Grab them while you can!
If you are looking for a truly individualized affair, Oakes Ames Memorial Hall is the answer. This dramatic, one-of-a-kind building offers a unique and memorable backdrop for your wedding reception. The property can accommodate up to 180 guests and is available until 10:30 pm with ample time for set up and breakdown. Use of indoor and outdoor areas gives you maximum flexibility in planning your big day. Enjoy a cocktail hour al fresco on the covered loggia overlooking the landscaped grounds. Inside, a grand staircase provides a perfect spot for photographs. Or, venture to nearby Queset House’s Italianate style Garden, which offers a lush setting filled with topiaries and a reflecting pool with fountain. (Garden must be booked separately by contacting quesethouse@amesfreelibrary.org.)
We’d like you to think of the Hall as your private home for the duration of your reception. That’s because when you rent with us, you are only charged for the use of the space – meaning that you can completely customize your event: choose your own caterer, bartender and musicians – and have peace of mind knowing your event is the only one scheduled for that day.

Watch this "behind the scenes" tour of the Hall, meet some of the Trustees, and see how your CPA money is being used. Many thanks to Easton Community Access Television for filming this video.
