Built in 1917, the former Liberty Tobacco Warehouse has been beautifully renovated and now houses the industrial-elegant Coley Hall Event Venue.

Located in the heart of historic downtown Elkin, Coley Hall offers a stunning ambiance suitable for any occasion. The venue retains its century-old character with a perfect blend of exposed overhead wooden beams, weathered pine floors, distressed brick walls, and original wood-cased windows that flood the space with natural light.

You will find them in the heart of Yadkin Valley wine country, just an hour north of Charlotte off I-77.
