RUTHERFORDTON CLUBHOUSE
Rutherfordton Clubhouse
The Rutherfordton Clubhouse is the community center for the Town. Built in the mid 1930’s from the trees cut on the site used in the log construction, the Clubhouse was the result of a partnership between the Civilian Conservation Corps, the Town of Rutherfordton, Rutherford Hospital and other private donors. The facility has been used by generations for weddings, receptions, showers, anniversaries, birthday parties, civic organizations, family reunions, class reunions, dances, Christmas parties, business luncheons, non-profit organizations, and individual private parties.

The Clubhouse is currently available for rent after the completion of the first phase of renovations in fall 2008. The beautiful restoration combined with the modern updates create a truly unique space of warmth, character, and convenience. The restoration included the renovation and expansion of the existing clubhouse to improve accessibility for citizens with disabilities, adding a deck, increasing capacity, creating a caterer-friendly kitchen, improving parking, and making the meeting space adaptable for a variety of events while restoring the historical aspects of the structure. Phase two will include the development of fitness trails, greenspace, and a picnic shelter on the grounds. The grounds will also host a spur of the Overmountain Victory Trail currently being developed as part of the Heritage Trail System.
The renovation is being funded in large part by private donations and donations are still being accepted. You may send donations to the Town of Rutherfordton / Clubhouse Restoration Project, 129 N. Main St., Rutherfordton, NC 28139. For more information regarding fundraising and donations, please contact Christy Bare at (828) 286-8997. The Town is a not for profit entity, so donations may be tax deductible.
