About Luther
Luther is a quiet Boone County town where life moves at an easy, unhurried pace. Originally founded in the late 1800s as a railroad stop and grain depot, it has held onto its close-knit agricultural character through the generations. Today, it serves as a peaceful country retreat for residents who enjoy open fields, quiet streets, and classic small-town Iowa warmth.
Despite its tucked-away feel, Luther sits right around the corner from some of central Iowa's best outdoor destinations. A quick drive brings you to the scenic bluffs of Ledges State Park, the paved path of the High Trestle Trail, and the gardens at the Iowa Arboretum. With straightforward routes into Boone, Ames, and Des Moines, it is an appealing option for anyone wanting relaxed rural living within easy reach of city jobs and amenities.
