How long has Laurel Hall been hosting events?
Laurel Hall has been a part of Indiana’s historical landscape for nearly 90 years. During that time, it has been a public policy think tank, a Catholic girl’s school and, in the beginning, the home to one of Indiana’s wealthiest families. The most recent owner of Laurel Hall and the surrounding property was the Hudson Institute, which moved its headquarters to Indianapolis in 1984. Indiana Governor Mitch Daniels was Hudson’s C.E.O. at the time. Since then, Laurel Hall has hosted numerous local and national community, political and charity events, weddings, fundraisers and other special celebrations. The Phi Kappa Psi Foundation purchased Laurel Hall in May of 2005 and is honored to continue to offer the building and grounds as a space for special events. Since the purchase, several areas have been renovated and a long-term master plan is being created which will improve upon the magnificent facility.
