Dunham Tavern Museum

Did you know that the oldest existing building in Ohio is not only in your home town — but hiding in plain sight in Midtown on Euclid Avenue? If you don’t know, you had better ask somebody. As in, the amiable team of volunteers and live-​in caretaker who maintain this historic gem and its picturesque gardens.
I first came to know of the Dunhan Tavern when my then-​fiancé and I were on the hunt for an intimate, low-​key wedding locale, my father — the all-​time Cleveland denizen — suggested it to me. After jumping through hoops with other, more conventional wedding venues, we visited the Dunham Tavern and the process of booking our wedding was as simple as placing a nominal deposit and picking any one of dozens of available days. That was it.
If you love local history, beautiful gardens, and low-​key party venues, give the Dunham Tavern a look. I think that you will be pleased and surprised!
