Located just minutes from Richmond and Fredericksburg, an easy drive from Hampton Roads/Virginia Beach and a straight shot from the D.C. area, The Meadow Event Park attracts guests from throughout the United States for AKC Dog Shows, RV Rallies, horse shows, graduations, consumer trade shows, weddings and corporate events.

The 331-acre property is rich in history and features a mixture of newly constructed facilities and original structures. Thoroughbred racing legend Secretariat was born here in 1970. Three years later he blazed his way into Triple Crown history. Today his birthplace is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and the Virginia Landmarks Register.

Guests enter through a marble foyer and can immediately feel at home in the softly-lit, mahogany-paneled rooms. The first floor features 2,000- and 600-square-foot ballrooms, a marble gas-fueled fireplace and bar and a spacious caterer’s kitchen, as well as an 824-square-foot gallery and covered terrace that faces some of the original barns.

The second floor features three separate rooms, each with a private bath, that are suitable for bridal suites, corporate breakout sessions or smaller meetings.

As the birthplace of Secretariat, The Meadow Event Park has taken special care in designing the Equine & Livestock Complex. The 80-acre complex offers all the amenities necessary to host your next horse or livestock show.
