The genesis of Raccoon Ridge Music Hall is a tale of love, faith, community, and an unbreakable connection to nature. It all began with a night of reflection and inspiration for Linda Thompson, who felt a powerful calling to share the beautiful scenery of Stuart, Iowa, with others. Guided by messages of selling, building for God, and singing for joy, Linda and her husband Gary embarked on a journey to create a space where families could gather, music could thrive, and nature could be celebrated.
The Thompsons sold their rental properties in Stuart and began working on Raccoon Ridge. They designed a steel building with a cathedral-type roof and insulated it to enhance the acoustics. From gospel karaoke to Central Iowa Band Dance, they envisioned a venue that could host a multitude of events and be a haven for music and camaraderie. The hall was equipped with a stage, a full kitchen, and multimedia tools to accommodate various gatherings.
But Raccoon Ridge Music Hall is more than just a venue; it’s a symbol of the Thompsons’ desire to bring joy and community to people’s lives. It’s a place where people can feel closer to God and nature, where weddings, businesses, and youth groups can find a unique setting for their celebrations.
The Thompsons also incorporated outdoor features like a nearby archery course, hiking trails, and campsites, making the area even more distinctive. They have created a space that resonates with the natural beauty of Iowa and serves as a cultural cornerstone in the community.
Raccoon Ridge Music Hall stands as a testament to the Thompsons’ faith, hard work, and love for people and nature. It’s not just an event center; it’s a dream realized—a place where you can find joy, connection, and the serene embrace of nature. Join us at Raccoon Ridge and be part of our ongoing story.
