The Dempsey Event Center has a rich history. The original foundation of the main house served as a hunting lodge in the late 1800s. Some have suggested it may have been a point on the Underground Railroad. In the 1940’s modifications of the property resulted in a three-bedroom ranch which served as a loving family home. It was surrounded by woods and family pets. The front oval was the path to ride the ponies! In 1975, renovations were completed and the property became an 8000 sq. foot family home. In 2014, the estate became a commercial property and the Sanctuary Building and pedestrian footbridge were built encouraging guests to enjoy the beauty of this sacred property. The Dempsey Event Center is now here for you to enjoy its history and grandeur.
