It Starts with a Vision...
A dedicated group of individuals had a dream to build a place that could serve the needs of a growing community of RV focused entreprenuers, as well as the bustling community of Athens, Texas and the surrounding areas.
In May of 2019, that dream was realized with the grand opening of the Big Red School House & Community Center.
Since opening, the facility has been dedicated to providing a safe place for people to gather, learn, and prosper and we've been overwhelmed by the support from Henderson County and the communities we serve.
