For more than 100 years, the historic Bryn Du Mansion, located at 537 Jones Road, has dominated the landscape of a 52-acre estate on the east side of Granville. Its colorful history, and the history of the families that lived there, Bryn Du Mansion (Michelle Waters Photography) add to its rich environment and unique facilities. Only recently available for public use, the Bryn Du Mansion and estate have quickly become a popular location for business meetings, weddings, banquets, tradeshows, and sporting events.

There are a total of seven buildings on the grounds: the field house, carriage house, pump house, gardener's cottage, laundry cottage, and horse barn. With 52 gated-acres, 32 acres of level front lawn, and a 7,200 square foot Field House, the entire Bryn Du estate is utilized for community activities, special events, private events, and sport and athletic competitions.

The property is managed by the Bryn Du Commission, which was established by the Village of Granville, with a mission of historic preservation and to manage program and event facilities for the benefit of the community.
