About Us

A historic room, run by real people.

Meet the team behind The Newport Car Barn.

The Newport Car Barn is a 40,000 square foot historic event venue in Newport, Kentucky, just minutes from downtown Cincinnati. Trolley Hall, the Conductor Room, and the Caboose loft give you three very different rooms at one address, so a 150 person dinner and a 3,000 person gala can both feel right at home.

What makes the Car Barn different isn't only the building. It's the way our team works alongside you: thoughtful planning, genuine hospitality, and attention to the details that matter most. We are especially passionate about supporting nonprofits and helping mission-driven organizations create events that move their causes forward.

I take personal pride in making sure every experience and event is the best it can be.
