Meeting Facilities

Hindman Settlement School makes meeting and lodging facilities available to community organizations for meetings, conferences and retreats. Some private functions (family reunions, weddings, etc.) can also be accommodated, depending on availability. Fees are charged to recover our costs. Advance reservations are required. 

We ask that scheduled guests provide us, at least one week in advance of your arrival, with a written list of needs, such as: meals, refreshments, audio/visual equipment, microphones, table and/or chair set-ups. Included with this list should be your planned arrival and departure times. Furniture may not be moved without prior permission.

With prior arrangements and at an additional fee, traditional music by local and regional musicians may be arranged, based on availability. 

Meals & Refreshments
With advanced planning, meals and/or refreshments can be furnished to visiting groups using our facilities for conferences and meetings. We required a minimum guaranteed number for meals.

Breakfast: $10.00 per person
Lunch: $12.00 per person
Supper: $14.00 per person (May be more, depending on menu selection)

Refreshments (e.g. coffee, juice, tea, snacks) are furnished once per day for $2.00 per person and twice per day for $3.00 per person.
