The Blowing Rock Art & History Museum Overview

Located in a quaint village nestled in the majestic Blue Ridge Mountains, The Blowing Rock Art and History Museum offers a singular locale for hosting your wedding day. This museum not only promotes the visual arts, history and heritage of the mountains through educational programs and exhibitions, but also offers a lovely setting for saying your “I do’s” surrounded by friends and loved ones. The museum’s stately stone exterior immediately makes an impression, setting the sophisticated atmosphere as soon as your guests enter the building. Exchange your most sacred vows on the elegant dark wood staircase in the museum atrium, the sky high ceilings creating a dramatic backdrop for sealing the deal. Host an intimate dinner in the Schaefer Gallery, a welcoming space that can seat up to 2o in a quiet yet warm atmosphere. For a more traditional reception, take advantage of the Alexander Community Gallery, a large space boasting a tastefully neutral color palette, expansive windows, and contemporary decor complemented by the timelessly elegant wood columns and beams.
