Craft Retreat House – 209 W Lincoln Ave, Hartford

A “Craft Retreat House” was proposed by Jean Harley. The home provides a place for small groups of people to spend time gathering to do crafting projects. A concept new to Hartford, the home provides refuge from the day to day and allows people to “get away” and go crafting. Similar “crafting homes” currently operate throughout areas of the State of Wisconsin. Groups of up to 12 people can rent the home for their projects. Classes and open sewing nights are part of the offering. The Craft Retreat House is also available to rent for meetings, showers, and church related retreats. The project was approved in January 2019 and has begun operation. The conditional uses permitted have some restrictions to maintain the residential atmosphere of the neighborhood.
