Maxine's Ballroom


Maxine's is a restored 1880's ballroom, located in Independence's downtown historic district, on the corner of Main Street and C. Street.

Built originally as a Masonic hall, then used as an Odd Fellows lodge for decades, Maxine's Ballroom is now privately owned and available for your special event.

Maxine's has been completely restored to turn-of-the-century splendor, and is a perfect site for ballroom dances, luncheons, birthdays, meetings, retreats, classes, weddings and anniversaries. A caterer's staging area/warming kitchen (not a commercial kitchen) is available, as are banquet tables and chairs for up to 49 people.

Maxine's may be rented by the hour during the day, prior to 6pm. After 6pm the ballroom is available by the evening, up to 12pm. (For more information, see Rental Contract and Rental Rates). (Maximum occupancy is 49).
