The Village Green provides a beautiful, free public space, however The Village Green receives no funds from Jackson County, the state of North Carolina, or the Federal Park System.
The Village Green depends solely on contributions to maintain the park, provide an exceptional community building and to continue bringing Cashiers the events and programs we have all come to cherish.
