Built in 1914, the Kerr Community Center, known earlier as Kerr Hall, is arguably the most important remaining structure reflecting the early 20th century history of the African American community in Bastrop. It is listed in the National Register of Historic Places and is a Bastrop Historic Landmark.
In 2003, leaders of the Kerr Community Center Association joined forces with the Bastrop County Historical Society to develop and implement a comprehensive plan to preserve and revitalize the old Hall. The fully restored Kerr Community Center building was formally rededicated on February 3, 2008.
The Center has 2 spaces available for use by the community:
- Downstairs (60 person capacity)
- Upstairs (25 person capacity)
*The upstairs is reserved for adult KCC member use by reservation only.
If you are interested in renting the center for an event or gathering, please contact Elroy Williams at (512) 304-5361 or Linda Greene at (512) 308-1048 for more information. |
