It’s almost time..
The Des Moines Heritage Center, also known as the former East Des Moines Union Depot, is a combination museum and event space in the Historic East Village.

The building will be available for weddings, corporate events, and other public events in 2019. The Des Moines Heritage Trust, a nonprofit organization dedicated to saving historic buildings in the city of Des Moines, has purchased the 1909 train depot located in the Historic East Village. The former East Des Moines Union Depot will be renovated and renamed the Des Moines Heritage Center. The depot itself will become a museum to house Des Moines artifacts and create a new meeting space for local historical organizations. A second building will be constructed next to the depot to serve as an event center. It will be available for weddings, corporate meetings, and other public events in the summer of 2019.
Operating as usual
It’s almost time..
Let’s talk event seating. Chair style and function make a HUGE impact on the aesthetic of a full room. Especially when you’re invested in the decor and floral! That’s why we’re excited to offer classic white Chiavari chairs, included with every rental at the Des Moines Heritage Center. They make any table look elevated and elegant. We’ll have 300 of these bad boys for you when you book your event with us. 👌
Insert your special event here. 😁
Six more days until 2021! 🥂

Our built in AV is state of the art! The projectors can connect directly to your device through a variety of vessels including wirelessly connecting to your phone or laptop. The drop down built in screens make for a modern, clean, functional amenity. And the sound system was carefully balanced to fill the room perfectly- it’s never too loud. Tour the Des Moines Heritage Center and watch this space come to life with the use of curated audio and visual technologies.
