Spirit of Jasper

Spirit of Jasper offers event organisers distinctive spaces in a historic-style train depot and restored vintage railway cars in Jasper, Indiana. The depot has a 700-square-foot community room for meetings, private gatherings and public events, with seating for up to 40 people. Tables, chairs and a podium are available, and guests may bring food. The room has no kitchen, and alcohol can only be served by a licensed liquor caterer registered with the City of Jasper.

For a more unusual setting, organisers can enquire about hiring stationary railcars. The Lounge Car accommodates up to 48 guests, while the Parlour Car has room for up to 36. These climate-controlled cars have their own toilets, and both provide space for food service and a bar. The Lounge Car suits seated meals and gatherings, while the Parlour Car offers a lounge-style layout for receptions and informal occasions. Train-car rentals are arranged through the Jasper Park and Recreation Department.

The business also offers group travel and private train charters for occasions such as corporate outings, reunions and wedding celebrations. However, the train is not running during the 2026 season because of maintenance and track-related discussions. The depot remains available to rent for community events, private gatherings and special occasions. Organisers should contact the department directly to confirm current availability, rental arrangements and any conditions for their event.
