History

The former home of Charles Walter Nichols, a renowned industrial leader in the early 1900s, is a spectacular display of artisan craftsmanship and luxurious comfort.

In 1959, the house was left to the board of directors of his company and was used as an exclusive corporate training retreat. In 1994, the Knowles family acquired the property, keeping its elegance and rich history intact and updating it to meet the needs of the discerning public for use as a special occasion venue, which includes the addition of the Grand Ballroom.

In keeping with the property’s earlier roots, as farmland maintained by Dutch settlers in the 1800s, Pleasantdale Château maintains a farm and apiary on its grounds that provide fresh produce for our events and other local area restaurants operated by the Knowles.

The grand-yet-intimate environment and privacy Pleasantdale Château offers is a rare find, and one that will set the tone for your event.
