History
Established in 1980.
Arks Landing was established by owner/operator Katharyn Freeman, and she has expanded the gorgeous property and home into the premier waterfront event location it is today!
The main house, built in 1910, was remodeled to emulate the antebellum style mansion Tara, from Gone With The Wind.
Weddings began 31 years ago, for one of Katharyn's students, and continue to the present. They have expanded their repertoire to also include company & church picnics, graduation, birthday, & retirement parties, reunions, and vow renewal ceremonies!
Meet the Business Owner: Katharyn F.
Ms. Freeman has earned both a B.A. and M.A., attained both a pilot's and real estate license, and spent years in the corporate world.
After more than a decade in corporate sales, management, and as an account executive for a large California based conglomerate, she desired to spend more time on her farm, so she began teaching. Retiring upon the birth of her daughter, now business partner, Kendall Freeman, Katharyn has devoted much of her time to her family and farm.
The younger Ms. Freeman has worked in the country club and restaurant industry for over 10 years, and is well versed in all aspects of presentation.
