Cascades Manor House

Cascades Manor is a historic event venue in Jackson, Michigan, set within the grounds of Sparks Foundation Park on the southwest side of the city. The building dates to 1932, when it opened as the Cascades Clubhouse for an 18-hole championship golf course — designed by regional architect Claire Allen and built as a community gathering place. After the county constructed a new clubhouse in the 1990s, local businessman Frank Myers led a restoration effort that established the Cascades Park Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to preserving the building for future use. Three indoor spaces accommodate events from 30 to 250 guests. The Myers Room seats up to 250 guests and features panoramic park views through windows on three sides, with an optional dance floor available for events up to 175 guests. The Sparks Room seats up to 60 and centers on original hardwood floors, exposed wood beams, and a working fireplace — well suited to wedding ceremonies, small receptions, and intimate dinners. The East Wing accommodates up to 30 guests for showers, meetings, and smaller gatherings. Full-service catering, bartending, and professional AV equipment are available across all three spaces.
