OUR SITE
Established in 1928 by The Packard Motor Car Company, this unique site hosts multiple Albert Kahn-designed buildings on 17 acres.
Ceremonies are held outside on the tree-lined boulevard, inside the Lodge Garage, or at an off-site location.
Receptions are commonly held in the Repair Garage, which includes a large outdoor patio area with picnic tables. Our courtyard area between the Repair Garage and Lodge Garage has additional space, whether as an open-air cocktail area or rent a tent to shade your guests from the sun or rain.
The entire 17 acres can be used for the event. The possibilities for the experience our clients can create are endless!
It’s a lovely venue for weddings, car shows, plus corporate & social events.

Mission Statement
Our mission is to preserve the legacy of the Packard Motor Car Company through the restoration & preservation of the Packard Proving Grounds.
Description
The Packard Proving Grounds Historic (PPG) Site is owned by The Packard Motor Car Foundation (PMCF) & is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization. It is funded by foundation grants, individual & corporate contributions, service groups & events. The site runs on almost entirely volunteer power! The PMCF became focused on the preservation under the leadership of President Becca Kuehl, who supported a group of Michigan-based Packard enthusiasts who were mobilizing to preserve a portion of the famous Proving Grounds which had been slated for demolition. The site has grown to approximately 17 acres of land and has become a multi-use facility and destination for events ranging from car shows to weddings and corporate events to a farmers market. Visitors are treated to educational tours of the facility which has broadened the awareness and support of the Proving Grounds far beyond the Packard collectors who started the effort.
