A Place for Music, Art, and Healing in Northeast Ohio
Western Reserve House is a non-profit focused on restoring a 19th century farmhouse for the community.
What began as a project to restore a farmhouse in Lakemore, Ohio has become a larger mission - to use the Victorian-era house and its 4 acres of land to better the community. Since our start in 2022 we have hosted a music festival, built an accessible garden, created a nature trail through the woods, and have recorded songs for local musicians in our in-house studio.
Our Focus Areas
HISTORIC restoration
music and art
nature and recreation
