Visit & Reserve
Come see the Goodrich.
The Goodrich is a historic site first — a 1919 grain elevator in Farmland, Indiana, about 20 minutes east of Muncie in Randolph County. The restored loft hosts private gatherings of up to 40 — small weddings, rehearsal dinners, showers, retreats — and revenue from those bookings funds the next phase of preservation.
