About Backus Community Center

Backus Community Center is host to a wide variety of events. Our building was originally built as a school in 1936. With thanks to a group of dedicated locals, it has been preserved and turned into the heart of our community. With an auditorium, a number of varied sized spaces and a wide selection of equipment, we are able to support just about any wants or needs. With a rich history, and a beautiful art deco style, we are sure to visually please. Our professional staff includes Kathryn O'Connor, Event Coordinator, experienced cooks and a kitchen manager and event manager who treat guests as family. Our events are manned by a large group of volunteers who care about our community and the events hosted at Backus Community Center. We have a full-service, commercial kitchen with a team prepared to cater and serve. With our capabilities to offer multiple spaces, many arrangements and diverse options - we have the best event space and team in Borderland.
