This beautifully restored historic barn wedding venue is rustic yet updated. I said to myself “Wow” when I pulled in the first time. The barn is huge and restored beautifully. You may think that a barn cannot be warm in the winter and cold in the summer, but this one is. The owners did a spectacular job making this a year-round wedding venue in the Dayton area.
Upon entering is a beautiful wood and iron staircase leading up to the event floor. The ground floor houses the buffet and cocktail space as well as the getting-ready rooms for the wedding couple. The smaller of the two rooms is reserved for the groom and his groomsmen when a man and woman are marrying. It is quite tiny with a huge television. The larger room is for the bride and bridesmaids and can easily accommodate 20 people. There are hair and makeup stations, plenty of natural light, mirrors, and restrooms. This is one of the best getting-ready rooms at any wedding or reception venue in Dayton.

Dayton’s Bicentennial Barn is a revived symbol of Ohio’s rich agricultural past. Painted in 2003 as part of Ohio’s Bicentennial Barn Project, the barn is one of 88 barns, one in each county, commemorating the state’s 200th anniversary. Located in the Dayton area, this iconic structure is more than just a piece of history; it’s a unique venue that blends rustic charm with cultural significance.
The barn’s east-facing design features the official Ohio bicentennial logo, along with the year of statehood (1803) and the bicentennial year (2003). This eye-catching mural was painted by artist Scott Hagan, who traveled across the state to complete the project. Each barn honors Ohio’s farming roots and its connection to the land, making the Bicentennial Barn a meaningful spot for gatherings and celebrations.
