Marie Zimmerman Farm

Marie Zimmerman Farm is just 90 minutes from NYC and 5 miles southwest of Milford. This 1912 Dutch Colonial-style building is ideally situated to host your private and exclusive event. The project is manned by a team of NYC hospitality veterans at the ready-to-throw any manner of party or to customize any private culinary experience.

Look out for pop-up chef dinners and art and design exhibitions that pay homage to the home’s legacy. Minutes from the charming village of Milford, the storybook Dingmans Bridge, and the area’s many hiking trails and waterfalls, there is much to see and do both on and off the property.

Marie Zimmermann’s last work of art was her home in Milford. She relocated from brownstone Brooklyn to the house she had designed in 190 as a summer home for her family. It has an eclectic smattering of Romanesque, Dutch Colonial Revival, and just plain playful styles. There’s a gambrel roof, Dutch doors with big strap hinges, a tower reminiscent of a windmill, and huge interior spaces of wood and stone.

In 1997, local citizens enter into a working partnership with the National Park Service to restore her legacy, her home, and her property.

The house and farm are accessed by the Zimmermann Farm Road, whose entrance is in the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area, at US 209 between Milford and Dingmans Ferry at Zimmermann Farm Road between mile markers 14 and 15.

My husband and I got married at Zimmermann Farm, and to put it simply: it was better than either of us had imagined. The venue itself is a dream. We were able to use the Zimmermann house for the whole wedding party to get ready in — separate areas for the bride and bridesmaids and the groom and groomsmen. Lots of natural lighting, beautifully decorated, and cozy!

We had the whole wedding outside, which worked out perfectly. We had to rent a restroom trailer, tents, some lighting for the tents, and a dance floor, but all other furnishings were included. The flow of activities was great, we were able to keep everything in one huge area, but maintain distinct spaces for the ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, dancing, etc.

And the fire pit, y’all. It was the perfect addition to the night, the center of everything but not overwhelming. The venue coordinators lit the fire before the ceremony started and kept it going all night! MZH Hospitality, the company that owns the farm, was incredible to work with from start to finish. They were flexible with us, willing to offer ideas and to hear and work with our ideas, too. T

Bonus: With an event at Zimmermann Farm, you’re supporting the National Park Service, a historic landmark, and a legacy of one incredible woman. We will be recommending Zimmermann as a wedding or private event venue to anyone looking for a pristine Poconos event space.”
