A space for creating memories and special moments
A History of Excellence
Since the grandfather of John Kruse, our Managing Director, started his auction business in 1952, the Kruse family has been committed to improving the communities in Northeast Indiana. In fact, their family history goes back even further to 1852, when the first Kruse homestead was built just a few miles from where Kruse Plaza now sits.
That longstanding presence in the area has been backed by a drive to serve the people of this area with excellence. From stunning weddings and events, to world-class auctions and innovative education opportunities, Kruse Plaza has been a hub for incredible experiences in Northeast Indiana.
