1889 Barn
The 1889 Barn is located in Gallatin Gateway, 12 miles from downtown Bozeman, worth the scenic drive out. As you wind down the roads, you unwind and once you are on the historic property things change inside you more. When I get to watch them in and around the 1889 Barn I see them breathe and smile. It’s a grounding and relaxing connection to history and to Montana. There is a magic and that’s what I’ve always felt and that’s what motivated me to restore and share the 1889 Barn. Please see the video on our website as she landed on her new foundation.
We host a monthly Open House and put on other events. Our bar is open every Thursday at 5pm. We plan drink and app combos using local spirits. The experience is like nothing else. The 1889 Barn restoration was a passion project, filled with heart and love. It brings the homesteading spirit of 1889 to life.

The feedback on meeting here at the 1889 Barn: “….it is a very inspiring space, we had the most productive time, the surroundings were helpful in freeing our thoughts, the unplugged atmosphere was relaxing, the food and service was just perfect, ….way better than any other fluorescent-lit, plastic food, bad coffee, windowless, funny carpeted, smelly space! “ Well, that one kind of describes what we aren’t! Most importantly they rebooked for next year. That really says it all.

WEDDINGS
The 1889 Barn sits on a 21 acre property creekside with a mountain side filled with wildflowers, making it one of the best spots in Bozeman to get married. The 133 year old barn has acted as a place to call home to all that get to experience the barn. We want to share this beauty in its next stage of life so now it will be restored to create beautiful small scale events.
We're a team of individuals that love all that Montana has to offer, we want to share that passion with guests at the Barn!

The sunsets every single day of the year on the property are fantastic. I’ve been here for 17 years and I’ve been keeping track! We are a small wedding venue. You aren’t clunking around in a corner of a huge space. We are intimate and cozy, comfortable and soulful. The first event ever at the 1889 Barn was a planned elopement. Proud to have that as our history. We have different packages but are a one-stop shop which means way less stress in that we can coordinate everything for you.
Family Occasions, Birthday Parties, Baby Showers, Company Meetings, Coffee Socials, Retreat Days, Educational Seminars, Fundraisers….Let us help you plan and host your small event.
