Celebrating a half-century as the biological research station of Carnegie Museum of Natural History, Powdermill Nature Reserve is a newly expanded and freshly renovated facility that offers you a range of flexible and well equipped spaces for practically any business or social event. But it’s our unique setting and sylvan ambiance that make us the natural choice for a memorable, distinctive gathering.

The PERMANENT EXHIBITIONS AREA is a multipurpose space showcasing the center’s natural history and current research exhibitions. Its living stream offers a look at life in Powdermill Run, and the interactive avian display is just fun. Careful, because the deck’s beautiful wooded backdrop may be a little distracting.
CAPACITY:
80 seated
100 cocktails
