1884 On The Bluff, LLC

Located 180 feet above the Mississippi River in storied and scenic southeast Iowa, 1884 On The Bluff is a historic, family-owned venue hosting both private celebrations and a limited number of ticketed summer music events each year. Our seasonal Summer Serenades / Bluff Sessions / Barn Sessions invite guests to unwind beneath open skies, surrounded by zinnia fields, stone architecture, and sweeping winds from bluff views. These thoughtfully curated evenings bled live music, nature, and rural artistry in an intimate setting where you're fully hosted. In addition to public events, 1884 On the Bluff hosts private weddings, retreats, and gatherings on our restored 15-acre property in Montrose. Slow down. Breathe deeper. Experience the hospitality of 1884 On The Bluff - where every step is a story and the rhythm of the bluff brings you back to what matters.
