Hall & Property Rentals
Due to the current health emergency and limitations of our physical facility, NRT is not currently renting any portions of the property for commercial or private events. As the safety of our guests and staff is of utmost concern, we will continue to monitor the latest guidance and will return to rental opportunities when we can safely do so. Current information on the status of property or building rentals can be found on the NRT's home page and will be updated to reflect the most current information available at the time.
The Sheep Pasture property continues to be open daily for individuals and their families to enjoy time on the trails and outdoors.

NRT members are able to request hall and property rentals for some areas of Sheep Pasture for private and business functions, including the Carriage House, Foundation area, and DeVore pavilion. All rentals require completion of a rental contract and pre-approval by the NRT. Rental dates fill quickly, so people that are interested in renting at the Sheep Pasture facility are encouraged to contact us as soon as possible, and no less than 30 days before their event; dates are not considered booked until all rental fees are paid and contract is approved by an NRT staff member.
