The Centennial Events
Knoxville | Illinois
Welcome to our 6-Generation Family Farm! We've cultivated a beautiful and peaceful setting for your special event in the lovely countryside of Knox County. Located 7 miles east of Galesburg, Illinois.
The Centennial sits on 5 acres of luscious green, surrounded by woodlands and simple seasonal landscaping. Multiple ceremony sites to choose from with arbor choices and scenic and picturesque photo opportunities. Complete with 1,400 square feet of covered space in our open-ended building, The Shed.
The Shed: we've restored the properties old cattle shed built in the 1950’s. At the time the lumber for the project was salvaged from an old barn elsewhere on the family property. Now here we are 70 years and a few generations later converting it into the perfect shelter for your next event!
The Farmhouse: The original cost was around $2400 to build in 1910. This is the 2nd house on the property but original to our family and has been called home by all 6 generations. Being remodeled and modernized over the years. Today the farmhouse serves our guests! When you book a weekend wedding you'll get the farmhouse for you and your wedding party to get ready and chill throughout the day. The house can also be rented on it's own throughout the week for smaller events or retreats or for overnight guests passing through.
We would love to host your special event: Weddings, Bridal Showers, Baby Showers, Family Reunions, Anniversary Parties, Photo Shoots and More.
Let our History Become a part of Yours…
