About Ewing Cultural Center
Ewing Cultural Center, located on the Sunset Hill estate of the late Hazle Buck Ewing, sits majestically on 6.5 acres of wooded landscape at the northwest corner of Towanda Avenue and Emerson Street in Bloomington, Illinois. This beautiful estate, rich in local history, is preserved and elegantly maintained due to the generosity of prominent citizens who discovered a way to celebrate the area’s culture, landscape, and nature. Ewing Manor, the Theatre at Ewing, and the Genevieve Green Gardens are the separate but closely linked properties of Ewing Cultural Center.
Whether you are planning an exquisite venue for your wedding day, or a dignified place for your meeting or social gathering, Ewing Manor can meet your needs. Completed in 1929 in the Channel-Norman style, Ewing Manor embodies the grace, practicality, and natural beauty envisioned by its original owner, Hazle Buck Ewing.
Contact the Ewing staff for information on using the facility for meetings, retreats, weddings, social events, and photography.
