Also, serving tables seem to work best close to the kitchen for refilling bowls, punch, etc... Freedom Hall can be set up for approximately 135 people for a sit-down type of meal in the large hall. The smaller room can hold approximately 40 in a sit-down type of meal. For lecture type meetings of chairs only, the hall can hold approximately 150-200 people.
