Rental of our facilities includes access to our fully equipped warming kitchen and use of tables and chairs. Rates are included in this packet.

Hilary J. Boone Commonwealth Hall Upon entering the Center, visitors will see the central atrium with formal staircase, reminiscent of the staircase in the Old State Capitol. A green terrazzo stone map of Kentucky, with each county outlined in brass, dominates the floor of the atrium, lending significance to the name Commonwealth Hall. Adjacent to Commonwealth Hall is the Hall of Governors, a gallery of more than 50 portraits that pay tribute to Kentucky’s former chief executives. Measuring 3,666 square feet, Commonwealth Hall is an ideal setting for memorable after-hours events. Only the first floor of this area is available for use during events.
