This fully restored theater was built in 1929 by William Fox of Fox Theaters. An additional neon 'FOX' sits on the tower that rises high above the downtown profile and can be seen from Highway 198. It is a beacon in our small community and for passersby.

The theater has a wonderful website that tells its history and some interesting facts about these old theaters in general. There are also several good pictures - interior as well as old exterior shots. It can be seen here: (visit link)
