Arlington Acres is set on the grounds of a working family farm in northwest Ohio just outside of Tiffin, Ohio. Our farm produces pumpkins, corn, soybeans, wheat, sunflowers and honey.
The Barn at Arlington Acres was originally built by Civil War veteran Arlington Dunn in 1878 as he prepared to build his farmstead. There is an archive on the farm's namesake at the Rutherford B. Hayes Museum and Presidential Library in Fremont, Ohio.
The property and the farm were purchased by our family from the Dunn family in the 1970's and when we needed a name for the barn it seemed only fitting to name it after Arlington Dunn the original owner of this beautiful farm.
The foundations of the barn were first laid by our namesake Arlington Dunn in 1878 where it stood for several years and then was used as housing for the building crew and farm hands as they built Arlington's beautiful home on the property. The lumber used for the barn and home is all native timber (butternut, walnut, and cherry) from the farm.?
In 2019, John and Sarah set about restoring the barn to it's former glory and updating it to become a wedding venue. The additions included re-siding, adding windows, restrooms, getting ready suites, a kitchen and patio.
In 2022 Arlington Acres was awarded Heritage Ohio's Historic Farmstead of the Year Award for their restoration efforts.
Our farm wedding venue is located just outside of Tiffin and we are about 90 minutes from Cleveland and Columbus, 60 minutes from Toledo, and only 30 minutes from Findlay, Fremont and Bucyrus.
