Are you interested in hosting a private event at SERC? We’re pleased to announce that the Woodlawn History Center is available to rent for personal social events for adults, fundraising galas for non-profits, and private corporate and non-profit receptions. Behold a piece of local history as you explore the 1735, 1841, and 1970s wings of the house or step outside onto the back patio to take in the picturesque landscape of rolling fields and forests.

Hosting your event here helps us continue our important work of leading research and education on coastal ecosystems to inform real world decisions for wise policies, best business practices, and a sustainable planet.
