The Hall of State at Fair Park

Texas history is alive at the Hall of State. Beneath the magnificent gold-leaf Great Seal of Texas, or among the bronze statues in the Hall of Heroes, one senses the dignity that characterizes the Lone Star State. You may visit the world's greatest example of Texas Art Deco architecture by taking our online virtual tour.

Built by the State of Texas for the 1936 Centennial celebration, the Hall of State has been the choice site for events honoring presidents, heads of state and other dignitaries for more than 60 years. Located five minutes from downtown Dallas, the Hall of State can be rented for private functions ranging from corporate dinners or meetings to weddings or black tie galas. Jamie Marshall, Director of Marketing and Development at the Hall of State will assist you in making all the arrangements necessary to rent the building.

Imagine a breathtaking wedding followed by a festive reception, a seated dinner; an elegant cocktail gathering for friends or business associates; or a lecture, graduation, recital or presentation in our 394 seat lecture hall. A Gala Event
