The Delta Eagle Room is located in the rear of the depot and may be rented for special events. In addition to a meeting room, there is a small caterer's kitchen, private entrance and restrooms.
Cherry Street Pavilion is a permanent covered outdoor stage. The Pavilion is the site of the annual King Biscuit Blues Festival and is used for a number of other purposes and events. Reservations are required.
