Autrey Mill is located on a nature preserve with 46 acres of forest, woodland trails, ravines, heritage gardens, and historic buildings. We provide a unique setting for weddings, receptions, anniversary celebrations, reunions, christenings, parties for young ladies, business meetings and retreats.

Autrey Mill offers a variety of facilities to rent for your event or group – they include an 1880s Victorian farmhouse, mid-1800s church, large pole barn, amphitheater, outdoor stage, and classrooms in the program barn.

The arrangement of our historic buildings forms a small Heritage Village which makes a charming wedding venue, with a short stroll from a ceremony in the Old Warsaw Church to a reception in the Summerour House.
