CANE CREEK SCHOOL AT TANNEHILL

The Cane Creek School was built in 1923 and moved from Warrior to Tannehill in 1981. It has two large rooms, one with old school desks that can be moved within the room and the other is an open room with one twelve feet long “permanent” table and three short pews against the walls. There are folding tables and chairs that can be setup. Off the open room the cloak closet has been converted to a partial kitchen – a sink with cold running water and a refrigerator. The school has two restrooms, air-conditioning and heat. There is a handicap ramp, convenient parking and about four picnic tables outside.

 

The cost for using the school is $125.00 per day. Folks coming in the park pay regular gate admission which is $3.00 for adults (12-61), $2.00 for seniors (62+), $1.00 for children (6-11) and children ages five and under free.

 

When you make a reservation to use the school the payment is due in two weeks. A $10.00 service fee is assessed on all cancellations. You must cancel 14 day before the reservation date to receive a refund less the $10.00 service fee. However, if you cancel less than 14 days before the reservation date your deposit will be forfeited. You may notify the office of the cancellation by phone, but you must send a written request before the refund can be made.

 

For an event that you wish to pay the gate admission for guests, we can provide tickets based on an estimated attendance. You distribute the tickets and folks turn them in at the gate for admission. You only pay for the actual number of tickets turned in at the gate. Please remember to call in advance about tickets so you will have time to receive and distribute them.

 

The park is open 7:00 a.m. until dark. You go to the Country Store to pick-up the key to the school. There is a $5.00 key deposit that will be refunded when the key is returned to the store. Alcoholic beverages are not allowed in the park.

 

Remember when decorating that the school is a historical building and do not use nails or anything that will damage the building or furnishings.
