The Farmhouse@Transylvania (a.k.a. the general store/souvenir shop) near the tower is closed. The adjoining gas pumps and garage are still open.
[Susie S, 02/19/2018]When driving due north, to the left of the tower is a really creepy closed Transylvania Elementary School.

Cool little town. Would like to explore the old and abandoned elementary school across from tower.
[Cara, 06/07/2014]While passing through the state of Louisiana we saw the water tower and there is also a general store. It only has some cheap magnets for mementos.

My wife and I drove through this sleepy Louisiana town on vacation in August. We were pleased to see that the locals embraced their interesting name, topped by the water tower complete with a bat.
