"As downtown Kokomo continues to revitalize and grow, I saw an opportunity to support our community's growth by offering a venue to house arts, entertainment and events. Along the way, we have uncovered the natural beauty of this historic Kokomo building. Years of neglect had made the building tired, and we are bringing it back to life."
-Gary Rhinebarger, Owner
OUR
STORY
Gary Rhinebarger, owner and founder, dreamt about the vacant church and what it could be before jumping in to make his dream a reality in 2022. Before near condemnation, Gary set his sights on restoration and preservation, turning this dormant church into a premier event venue!
Our historic building is a testament to the timeless charm and history of our community. Rhine Hall was restored to preserve the building's architectural integrity and historic presence, dating back to the 1930s. Our venue boasts balcony seating with original stained glass church windows. These balcony seats provide optimal viewing of the stage and enhance the acoustics of the Rhine Hall experience.
​
We believe that our building is more than just a venue – it is a piece of history that has played an important role in the community for decades! Contact us today to learn more about hosting your next event at Rhine Hall Entertainment & Event Venue.
