Host Your Event in Our Ballroom
Located in Downtown Princeton, Illinois
Step into history and celebrate in style. Once a bustling 1800s dance hall, the restored Ballroom at the Historic Knox Hotel blends timeless charm with modern amenities. Overlooking Rotary Park and the Princeton train depot, our second-floor ballroom offers a warm and memorable setting for your next special occasion or business event.

Please note: Access to the ballroom requires the use of stairs.
