About

Welcome to our Sandy Mush Community Center! Nestled in the mountains of far reaching Western Buncombe County, our center is located in the historic Sandy Mush Schoolhouse. With the dedication of many energetic volunteers and the help of Buncombe County, this historic building has been transformed into an active community center. 

We offer many programs for all ages, as well as rental of our spacious gym, and cozy downstairs meeting area complete with modern kitchen. 

Outside a large playground for all ages is located and enjoyed year round. Additionally, 24 hour access to free high speed internet in the parking lot. 

Upstairs has three renovated classrooms housing a lovely library, a quiet yoga room, and a delightful children’s playroom which offers a weekly playgroup for parents and children. 

Our center is funded by grants and generous donations.
