Chris Laughbaum

Chris Laughbaum of KOLA Property Management lives in New Harmony and has two sons, one lives in Ohio and the other lives in CA. She has five grandchildren ranging in age from 7 to 17. She shares, “After Koester Construction finished the Restoration of the Rapp-Owen Granary 21 years ago, we stayed on Managers of the building, that is how I got started working with brides and booking weddings and receptions. Since then, we have taken on other properties here in New Harmony, including the Opera House and Community House Dorm 2, which the State Museum has now taken back under their own management. In the last 10 years we have also become managers of the Ribeyre Center, which is the old gym and has been restored for Wedding Receptions.” Chris has been working with brides for 20 years, booking the wedding venues, and she loves it!
