About this venue

Welcome to the Rumely Tractor Historic Event Space located in Kansas City’s 12th Street Bridge district of the Historic West Bottoms. Built in the 1880s, this building was once operated by the Advance-Rumely Thresher Company, from which the building has retained its unique name. The Rumely Tractor Historic Event Space is the product of two years of extensive restoration, during which time no expense was spared to preserve the history and authenticity of its landmark site. The result is a seamless combination of historic architecture with modern convenience and enduring elegance.
