The ~140-year-old home of Jasper Masonic Lodge No. 164 has a new name: Iron Horse Arts.

Why “Iron Horse Arts”?

There is a story behind the name.

Iron Horse Arts is one of Rush City’s oldest downtown buildings—a two-story brick building that has stood alongside more than a century of community change.

Its story is closely tied to the formation of Rush City itself.

Rush City grew up along the railroad, and trains have been part of the rhythm of this community since its earliest days. Just steps from the tracks, this building served many purposes over the years. Historic maps identify the first floor as a flour and feed business, while the second floor became home to Jasper Masonic Lodge No. 164, whose roots in Rush City date to the 1880s.

So when we began imagining a new chapter for this remarkable old building, we wanted a name that honored where it came from while leaving room for what it could become.

Iron Horse is an old nickname for the steam locomotive—a nod to the railroad that helped shape Rush City and continues to run through the heart of town today.

Arts speaks to what comes next.

Our vision is to restore this historic space as a place where people can create, gather, share stories, experience art and culture, learn something new, and simply spend time together.

In many ways, that is what we love most about this project:

We aren't erasing the building's past to create something new.

We are celebrating what was here, while creating what comes next.

That is Iron Horse Arts.

🚂 🎨 ❤️

A historic building.
A new chapter.
A place for culture, creativity, and community.
