Current Projects
From historical preservation to holiday & community celebrations, the Friends of Cass projects have one thing in common: love. We love Cass, the folks who visit and the folks who call it home, and we’re committed to preserving the town’s memories and making new ones.
Cass Audio Tour
When walking through the town of Cass, you can see the history all around you. But, what if you could hear it as well?
Everyone who lived and worked here has a story to share. In an effort to capture those timeless stories, we've launched this project with an ultimate goal of creating an immersive audio walking tour for all who come to visit so that they may experience first hand what we already know, Cass would not be the place it is without those who called it home in one way or another.
Got a story you'd like to share or know someone that does? Fill out the contact form and we'll be in touch!
Christmas at Cass
Celebrate the season by visiting during Christmas at Cass! In addition to lighting up the town, the Friends of Cass also facilitates programming throughout December including arts workshops for adults, Santa’s Workshop for the kids, an annual Holiday Square Dance, a Holiday Market featuring local artisans and crafters and, of course, the town lighting & visit from Santa Claus.
While our programming was limited the past two seasons due to COVID, 2021 marked an expansion of the display to include all three streets in town + the Greenbrier River Trail! No matter what you’re looking for, we’ve got something to offer everyone to help get you in the spirit.
Preservation & Restoration Projects
A turn of the century town needs a little love to keep it alive…and keep the buildings standing for another 100 years. Friends of Cass are currently fundraising to preserve some of Cass’s most beloved and storied buildings: the Mill, the Hannah House, the Luke House and the hospital are all in need of attention if we’re to keep them.
With some investment, these sites can not only be preserved but, in some cases, Brough back to life as historical landmarks and extraordinary spaces for interpretation and new memories.
