The Ruby Loft

The Ruby Loft The Ruby Loft is the perfect setting for weddings, parties, and reunions. The Ruby Loft barn was built around 1920 by the King family.

Located on Marshall King Lake, just down the road from the Westwood Golf Course, The Ruby Loft can help you launch your new life together or celebrate a lifetime of memories. It is a traditional Gambrel Roof barn. The oldest known Gambrel Roof structure is Harvard Hall at Harvard University built in 1677. In the early 18th century the gambrel roof became popular for new construction in the Netherl

ands, influenced by the double-pitched gable-hip roofs common in the Dutch East Indies. The style spread to England, and eventually to the United States. Our family settled Indiana before it was a state - then known as part of The Northwest Territory. John and Nancy Littel (my great-great-great grandparents) floated down the Ohio River from Pittsburgh and landed on the North side of the river, just before The Falls of The Ohio. They originally settled around the Silver Creek area and, as the family grew, expanded up into what is today Scott County. John was called "Long-knife" by the Shawnee Indians. That's what they called many pioneers who were a good shot. His family had immigrated from Scotland to Delaware; then New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and finally Indiana. It is believed that Nancy was part Indian. It is unclear if this originated from the Shawnee, located around Pittsburgh, or Cherokee that lived in the Carolinas, where her family originally lived.

It was a lot of fun.

We've had a lot of brides say, "I want to get married in December".

In the past I've told them, "Not in a barn you don't - unless you're planning to have a Viking Wedding, with furs".

But this might be another take on that outdoor, country style wedding in a barn.

Another "guest" idea might be - bring a quilt to bundle up in, during the wedding, and give it as a gift to the bride and groom.

Hot chocolate or mulled wine might not be a bad idea either.

People taking care of people - now that's the Christmas spirit

A few years ago a small group of dedicated Volunteers got together to help those less fortunate in our Community. Some drove to Indianapolis to get old Newspaper Boxes and the fixing up and distributing began. Several are in front of local Churches and the Church members keep them filled, and so the Blessing Box project was started.

Below is a list of all the boxes and their locations. A few have been added and I always leave one or two out. If I did I am so sorry. It is not intentional. Just remind me in the comments.

With the economy the way it is please find it in your heart to donate anything non perishable you can to those in need.

Austin - Food for our Souls on Mann Ave., Redemption Church behind Police Department, Church of the New Covenant on Rural Street and the Church in Spicertown. New Harmony Baptist Church, First Baptist Church on Cherry Street.

Scottsburg- The Catholic Church on Bond Street, The Presbyterian Church on Washington Street, The YMCA, The Seventh Day Adventist Church by Old Ponderosa, Cradle on Thomas Street, Stella's Closet, Fairview Church on South Boatman and Lexington Christian Church, and Turning Point Church behind CVS.

Lexington Area - Kimberlin Creek Baptist Church

Give what you can, take what you need.

Just gave a tour for a couple who are looking to get married in October 2024.

Bride to be: "It's nice that you all don't micromanage".

Me: "As long as it's legal, and you don't burn down my barn, you can do what you want". ;-)

At about 1/3 the price of most venues, they were equally surprised that tables, chairs, and tablecloths for up to 100 guests are included as well.

Erica and Kyle were the first to reserve The Ruby Loft for their wedding and their photographer, Maggi Turner, did an excellent job.

It was an overcast, sometimes rainy Fall day, but we all had fun and laughter filled the barn.

Weddings are so much fun. They're just like babies. Each one is so special and unique and beautiful. I could never ever pick a favorite. However, I could easily come up with awards for all of the weddings I've shot: Best Food. Coziest. Most Laughs. Most Colorful. You get the idea. So as I was having...
