Tannehill Country Church

The Tannehill Country Church was built in 1905 and served as the Kimbrell Methodist Church on Eastern Valley Road until the late 1950s. It sat idle for about 15 years and then was donated and moved to the park.

 

The church is a one-room building with one center aisle and pews on each side. Up front there is a raised pulpit area and a piano. There are two windows in the front and back, two windows and a door on the left side and three windows on the right side. The building does have air-conditioning, heating and a handicap ramp on the left side. It will seat approximately 100 people. There is no room in the church for a reception. The restrooms are in a separate building near the church.

Tannehill Event Center

Event%20Center%201_edited.jpg

The original Furnace Master's was build in 1977. On January 25, 1999 a faulty fluorescent light sparked a fire, causing the restaurant to be destroyed. All most seven years later Tannehill State Park re-built the Furnace Master's restaurant. Without success for a restaurant Tannehill State Park modified the building into an Event Center.


The Event center will hold around 130 people. It also has a full working kitchen that includes refrigerator, residential stove/oven, microwave, ice maker, and a three (3) slot warming table for cooking needs. It also has two (2) bathrooms, a meeting room with a sliding divider, a covered side porch, parking lot, and a gazebo to the rear of the building. Cost is $500/day with a $200 non-refundable deposit.

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.
