About Us
"Without memories there is no life, and our memories should be of happy times."
— Lee Radziwill
Our History
A Building Born
from Industry
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 it has retained its unique and storied name.
The Rumely is the product of two years of extensive restoration, during which no expense was spared to preserve the history and authenticity of this landmark site. The result is a seamless combination of historic architecture with modern convenience and enduring elegance.
The Experience
A Feeling of
Timelessness
The storied past of the Rumely is reflected today in its original tin ceiling, wood flooring, columns, and antique fixtures — all restored to their former glory and complemented by every modern amenity a venue could offer.
The Rumely truly evokes a feeling of timelessness stemming from its rich history, reminiscent of the industrial boom of the 1800s while maintaining the modern elegance relevant today.
We partner with local companies to bring you the best experience possible — from liquor and catering packages to staffing and production.
