Tented Patio
Fruitlands Museum maintains a seasonal tent complete with beautiful chandeliers, removable walls, and large windows. This tent is included in the rental and is set on a large patio overlooking the Nashua River Valley.
Ceremonies
Ceremonies may be held on the lawn adjacent to the majestic Elm Tree featuring unsurpassed views of the Nashua River Valley, Mount Wachusett, Mount Manadnock, and Mt. Watatic.
Prospect House
The historic Prospect House is adjacent to the tent, and serves as the perfect location to stage your bar, serve appetizers, or display your wedding cake.
Side Lawn
The Side Lawn at Fruitlands is the perfect location for lawn games or cocktail hour. For smaller weddings, the area can be used for ceremonies as well.

PLEASE NOTE! The café will be closed November 3rd through the winter. We will reopen in April 2020.

The Fruitlands Museum Café focuses on locally-sourced, sustainable cuisine that is reflective of the heritage of New England. The cafe is conceived, planned, and run almost exclusively by chefs, cooks, servers and managers from our sister restaurant, the Gibbet Hill Grill. Since the Grill is not open to the public for lunch, we felt that this would be the perfect complement to our organization. We source our ingredients from local farms such as Gibbet Hill Farm in Groton and Verrill Farm in Concord.

Tim Holmes, Director of Sales and Events

Tim is a graduate of The University of Vermont and he began his career in hospitality while coordinating weddings and other off-site catered functions on Lake Champlain after college. Tim learned of Fireside Catering through his passion for amazing food and local sourcing which brought him to Massachusetts in 2011 to join the Webber Restaurant Group as an Assistant Manager at the Scarlet Oak Tavern, our restaurant on the South Shore. He knew his dedication was geared more towards catered events and began working as an Event Manager for Fireside Catering in the summer of 2012, and soon after the end of that season he took on the role as the Director of Catering and Sales at Fruitlands Museum. His dedication to his many clients, knowledge of food and detailed eye make Tim a valuable member of Fireside Catering and the Webber Restaurant Group.
