The Parksdale House: Writing the Next Chapter in Rich Square, NC

Nestled on two acres in the heart of Rich Square, The Parksdale House is ready to write its next chapter — this time as a beautifully reimagined venue for weddings, events, and unforgettable gatherings.

From the moment I stepped foot on this historic property, I knew it held something special. At one point, I even imagined it as our family’s home. But deep down, I knew it was meant for something bigger. The Parksdale House wasn’t meant to sit quietly or be hidden away — it deserved to be restored, opened up, shared, and celebrated.

That vision is now becoming reality.

From Forgotten to Reimagined

Once in need of major repairs, The Parksdale House has become a true labor of love. Our goal has always been to honor its historic roots while thoughtfully restoring it for modern use — creating a space that feels timeless, welcoming, and full of possibility.

We’re excited to officially share that The Parksdale House is being transformed into an affordable, all-in-one destination for weddings and events. Whether you’re planning an intimate ceremony, a milestone celebration, or a meaningful gathering with family and friends, this property will offer character, elegance, and unmistakable Southern charm.

But this project is about more than events.

Breathing Life Back Into Rich Square

Small towns like Rich Square are rich in history, pride, and heart — yet they’re often overlooked. Restoring a historic home into a thriving, community-centered business is one way we can help change that narrative.

Revitalization matters.

When we invest in historic properties, we’re investing in our towns. These efforts bring new energy, visitors, jobs, and renewed pride. They help preserve what makes our communities special while creating opportunities for the future. With The Parksdale House, our hope is not only to host beautiful celebrations, but to play a small part in helping Rich Square grow, flourish, and shine again.

Progress So Far

We’re thrilled with the progress that’s already been made — and there’s so much more to come.

✔️ A brand-new roof has been installed, protecting the home for generations to come
✔️ Siding repairs are underway, restoring both function and historic character

These early improvements are essential — they may not be the most glamorous, but they’re the foundation that ensures this home can safely and beautifully serve the community for years to come.

What’s Next

Our next phase of work includes:

  • Continuing and completing siding repairs

  • Restoring and finishing the porches, bringing back the welcoming charm that makes the home so inviting

Every step is guided by respect for the home’s original architecture, thoughtful craftsmanship, and a long-term vision for how the space will be used and enjoyed.

A Vision for the Future

As renovations continue, The Parksdale House is being designed as a true one-stop destination — with curated packages and local partnerships to make event planning seamless and stress-free.

From bridal showers and weddings to family reunions, corporate retreats, community dinners, and celebrations of all kinds, this will be a place where stories begin, connections are made, and memories are created.

So stay tuned. We can’t wait to continue sharing this journey with you — and to welcome you to The Parksdale House, where history meets celebration and a small-town legacy is being reborn.
