In October 2022, a restaurant located inside a historic train depot closed after the city of Minburn failed to reach an agreement on a new lease with the previous owner. That's when Michael Roberts stepped in and offered to buy the nineteen14depot.
"I just love old historical buildings, so this kind of just fell in my lap," he said of the restaurant that sits along the 89-mile Raccoon River Valley Trail and served as a stopping point for bikers on the route.
Roberts said the interior will remain the same since it's run by the National Historic Society. Nineteen14's menu will see a little change, but he plans to keep burgers. "Most items on there will stay, but I do want to add deli sandwiches and then do some features and specials for dinner."
