Some places hold more than walls — they hold memories.

As we begin the journey of renovating The Hatchery on Main into a space for gatherings, celebrations, and meaningful moments, we had the honor of welcoming someone who once called this house home.

Marianne Arntz spent much of her childhood here. Her grandparents — and later her uncle — owned and operated the hatchery, and this home was deeply woven into her everyday life. During her visit, Marianne shared stories and memories that gave us a glimpse into what it was like growing up within these walls.

One of the photos Marianne and the Daugherty family shared with us (with many more to come) shows her as a child beside her family’s Christmas tree — a quiet reminder of the warmth, tradition, and life this space has held.

As we look ahead to what The Hatchery on Main will become, we’re holding space for what it has already been. Our hope is to honor its history while creating a place where new memories can take root for generations to come.

Enjoy these photos of Marianne as a little girl, along with moments from her recent visit with her son, Mike.

It starts with a vision- a place where gatherings feel calm, intentional, and full of heart.

The Hatchery on Main is coming soon - a new event space designed with industrial character and effortless style.

High ceilings, exposed brick, and light that changes beautifully with the day. A setting that gives you room to make it your own.

Follow along as this dream takes shape.
