We Are Renovating

Please pardon our dust! We are currently in the process of making some much-needed repairs at the Mansion, including updating all of the 120-year-old electrical wiring!

When we reopen, you’ll find some beautiful new spaces, including a refreshed Bridal Suite and Mr. Barker’s Room, complete with the original bathroom (but with some updated plumbing!)

We can’t wait to show you our restored historic garden, with lovely new plantings and refreshed pergolas. Have your wedding or special event on the elegant bluestone, complete with rain-or-shine event tent!

We appreciate your patience as we complete these renovations and conservation work, and can’t wait to welcome you soon! Please check back on our site and follow us on social media for any updates.

Accessibility

The Barker Mansion has an accessibility ramp in the rear of the building so guests can access the first floor and first floor bathroom. The lower level is accessible via two chair lifts. We ask that those who require the ramp call ahead so that staff can meet guests at the side entrance on 7th Street: (219) 873-1520. Please contact the Mansion with any questions. We are happy to help!
