Steeped in over a century and a half of history, the 1860 Schulhaus Venue stands as a beautifully restored landmark on the edge of Missouri’s wine country in New Melle. Originally built by German settlers in 1860, this cherished schoolhouse served as a place of learning for generations before transforming into a beloved local gathering spot. Its storied walls now offer a timeless setting where the past and present meet, ideal for intimate weddings, private events, and community celebrations that honor both heritage and heart.

Revived with care and personal connection, 1860 Schulhaus is more than a venue, it’s a living piece of history. When the current owners, who were married here in 2015, had the opportunity to purchase the property in 2024, they embraced the chance to preserve its legacy while infusing it with new life. Thoughtful renovations have maintained the building’s original charm and authenticity, creating an inviting space where every event becomes part of its enduring story.
