Support the Heart of Our Community — The Historic Coaldale Schoolhouse

The Historic Coaldale Schoolhouse has stood proudly in the Arkansas River Valley for over a century. Once a bustling school, it now serves as the vibrant heart of our community—bringing together residents of Coaldale, Howard, Cotopaxi, Salida, Westcliffe, and beyond.

Today, the Schoolhouse is more than just a building. It’s a gathering place, a cultural venue, and a symbol of small-town connection. Throughout the year, it hosts an ever-growing list of community-building events, including:

Farmer’s Markets

Workshops & Educational Classes

Celebrations & Festivals

Seed Exchanges & Support Groups

Concerts & Music Gatherings

Exercise & Wellness Classes

And now, a dedicated space for our local volunteer fire department!

As a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit, the Coaldale Community Building Association (CCBA) relies on the generous support of neighbors like you—near and far.

Background Statement

What we're about...

In 1923, the Coaldale Schoolhouse was built. When the rural schools were consolidated during the 1950's, the building was deeded to the community to provide a meeting place for people to come together. The Coaldale Schoolhouse has been serving that purpose ever since!
