PHOTOGRAPHERS

We require a minimum donation of $50 when using our grounds for your backdrop or general outdoor photography.

We love the photos you take and enjoy seeing our grounds in your pictures; however, the property is privately-owned and maintained and your donation helps to keep the property beautiful and photo-worthy. Thank you for helping us maintain this treasure. Please complete the application and pay online, or the Ruyle Building is open Wednesdays, 10-3 and you can stop by and pay with a check or cash.
