About Us

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.

The storied past of the Rumely is reflected today in the original tin ceiling, wood flooring, columns and antique fixtures, which have been restored to their former glory and complemented by all the amenities one would want in a modern venue. The Rumely Tractor Event Space truly evokes a feeling of timelessness stemming from its rich history that is reminiscent of the industrial boom of the 1800s while maintaining the modern elegance relevant today.

We partner with various local companies to bring you the best experience possible. From liquor and catering packages to staffing and production.
