The Rothbury Community Center is located just north of the Village of Rothbury. It boasts a beautiful hardwood dance floor. Many updates have been made in recent years, including new lighting, electrical updates, updated bar area, and new exterior siding.
The RCC is available for rent throughout the year. There are two rental options—the Main Room has a capacity of 214. Rental includes use of the kitchen, bar (capacity of 25), and dance/dining areas. Our Member’s Room is a smaller space that lends itself nicely to showers, small family holiday gatherings, or birthday parties. The Member’s Room has a kitchenette and serving counter and space for seating a group of up to 50 guests.
Rental cost for the Main Room is currently $650.00 with an additional $200.00 security deposit. The Member’s Room rents for $75.00 with a security deposit of $50.00. The security deposit is refunded back after your event if there is no damage or excess wear and tear to the building and/or its contents.
Please take a few minutes to read our Rental Agreement and Rental Reminders documents to familiarize yourself with our terms of use. The Rothbury Community Center is a non-smoking facility.

A pre-event rental fee is also available if your event requires extra set-up time. For an additional $50.00 fee, set-up can begin on the Thursday evening prior to your event. This is especially helpful if your set-up requires lots of decorating.
RCC has an interesting history. A former Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) building was moved to the Center’s current location many years ago. It became the Thomas Patrick Reavey American Legion Post #0467 to honor Private Reavey, a local resident who lost his life in World War II. The Legion added on to the building and paved the parking lot. After many years, the post was deactivated and was sold to the Tri-County Recreation Club. Finally, the building was deeded to the Village of Rothbury with the provision that it must be used as a rental facility.
