Beautiful location for a baby shower!

I couldn’t have asked for a better place for my baby shower. It’s such a beautiful place for an event. 100% recommend.

We attended an event at the 1860 Schulhaus. Let me say it was nothing short of exceptional. The venue is so welcoming and the owners have done a phenomenal job with redoing to space and making it their own. Looking forward to the next event there.

What an incredible venue to host an event. I attended the ribbon cutting and was so impressed with the location and atmosphere. Julia is so nice to speak with. Inside or outside this place has you covered.
Katie Jensen
This venue was wonderful! Julia, the owner, made sure everything went smoothly for my future sister in laws bridal shower and even arranged to get additional champaign for us when we ran low. The Venue is beautiful, intimate and just the vintage vibe we were looking for. I highly recommend this venue space!
Michelle Wease
I recommend the 1860 Schulhaus venue for ANY event with 80 or fewer people. Julia is an amazing partner and the venue is absolutely gorgeous in every way! We had the ceremony outside under the arch then enjoyed appetizers on the outside deck and patio before going inside for dinner. Love, love, love! Thanks, Julia for helping make my daughter’s special day completely, over-the-top, beautiful, and fun!!!
