In late 2005, the The Long Lake theater complex expanded by adding a second former church. That's right, another church from the 1890s -- probably one of the oldest buildings in Hubbard. The United Methodist Church of Hubbard was slated for destruction until it was moved to the Long Lake Theater. The church community generously raised funds to cover the moving costs.
On June 1, 2006, northern Minnesota's newest art space, called The Landmark, opened. Initially, the versatile space was an art gallery open freely to the public and featuring selected regional artists as well as artwork from Maria's Children International, a Moscow-based arts rehabilitation center for Russian orphans. The space also had a stage, piano and workshop area for theater classes or rehearsals.
After more renovation, The Landmark opened in June 2008 as a cozy, 100-seat theater.
