Experience Our Historic Venues in NEPA
If you are looking for a unique venue near the Catskills, Poconos, Philadephia, or New York City, we invite you to check out 6th & River and Fox Hill Farm — both have vibrant histories to match their gorgeous ambiance.
And our team, including our venue owner and founder Katharine, is dedicated to helping you create your most treasured memories in these spaces.
6th & River: An Industrial Factory Event Venue with Entrepreneurial Roots
Our 6th & River warehouse event space was Built in 1902 by brothers Jacob, Jonas, and Samuel Katz to house their Katz Underwear Company.
In fact, the space we occupy was once a large sewing room where women sat side by side and used hand-operated machines to manufacture wearables for the Katz product line.
When our founder Katharine’s friend, Heather Hogan Spencer (the co-founder and creator of the Bodhi Tree Art School and Studio), opened their space in the building, she suggested Katharine check out the “back room.” It was love at first sight. And because weather extremes can impact outdoor weddings, 6th & River was a gorgeous and practical indoor event space.
The renovation was a monumental undertaking supported by many amazing people. And during the renovation of our wood floors, we unearthed thousands of pins and needles between the planks, preserved there for over a century.
The historic factory is now home to businesses with a true entrepreneurial spirit (and we’re sure the Katz brothers would be proud).
Fox Hill Farm’s Rich & Familiar History
Born in the late-nineteenth-century farmhouse on the property, George, Katharine’s husband, always hoped he would return, raise his family on the farm, and work in the family business. Little did he know, his wife would not only embrace farm life but truly love it and start digging in immediately.
When George and Katharine returned to the farm, they realized it was a blank slate for growing flowers, pasturing grass-fed beef, tending poultry, and, most importantly, raising children.
After ten years of landscaping the farm and cleaning the barn, Katharine and George were asked to host their first wedding. It was welcome news, and they excitedly got to work.
With tons of help from friends and family near and far, Fox Hill Farm is now a captivating place to celebrate special occasions and weddings.
Many celebrations later, we continue to dedicate ourselves to making every wedding and special event ease-filled and unforgettable.
