Guests of The Woodlands sit at a long dining table between The Hamilton Mansion and The Stable, celebrating Elizabeth Gilbert’s book, “The Signature of All Things." The setting of the novel is based on the history of The Woodlands.

Thank you for your interest in The Woodlands!

**Picnic Inquiries (PLEASE READ):**

Please note that the site receives numerous requests for picnics and gatherings every day. The Woodlands is not a public park; this National Historic Landmark is privately owned and operated, a 501c3 nonprofit, and an active working cemetery. Maintaining the serene nature of the landscape when public and private events are not taking place is a priority aligned with our mission.

Capacity for group gatherings larger than 10 people is limited and requires a signed rental contract, Certificate of Insurance, and fee, starting at $250 per hour, unless otherwise noted in writing.

The site welcomes groups of less than 10 individuals (this number includes children) to gather without a formal contract. If you are interested in pursuing an hourly picnic rental, you will receive a response to your inquiry within 7 business days.

All Other Private Event Inquiries

If you’d like to schedule a tour, please let us know! You are welcome to visit the grounds while the gates are open, daily from dawn until dusk. We also encourage you to check out our Event Space Tour Video to envision the venue options.
