Can anyone get married at the church there and have a small picnic type reception at this campsite?
Hi Deonah,
We’re not sure if you can have weddings at the Baptist church at Colonel Allensworth State Historic Park, but it wounds like a great idea. I recommend you call the park directly to find out: 661 849-3433
