In general we host events of an educational, cultural, or historical nature and typically work with non-profit organizations and local businesses, but are happy to discuss rentals with all types of groups. We are able to accommodate cocktail receptions, seated meals, and meetings, and all uses are subject to the approval of the Museum. We do not permit fundraisers on site, unless they are for the Museum. For events of a political nature, we request strict adherence to our requirement that the OCHM’s hosting of the event implies no endorsement of any political party, candidate, or policy position and that message conveyed as such to event organizers, candidates, the audience, and any members of the press who attend. Events that disrupt or conflict with the primary use of the building as a public museum will not be permitted.
