Hoosier Theater

Copied from the Switzerland County Tourism website: «The Historic Hoosier Theater is registered as a National Historic Landmark. Built in 1837 as a warehouse and store, it has housed a saddlery, the post office, the newspaper and a tavern. It became a building for popular entertainment in 1926, when it was converted to a movie theater. The theater closed in 1955. In 1983, a group rejuvenated the building. Today the theatre present films, live performances and hosts civic events.»
The theater is not very large, but it is always entertaining to visit whatever show they are presenting, especially plays that feature locals. I’ve been to it several times and always enjoy myself. They always offer seasonal shows for the holidays, and serve as a venue for «The Shows of Second Saturday» each month, which is a series of concerts featuring a variety of music styles. They occasionally use the theater to show old movies as well. If you happen to be in town when the theater is presenting something, it is well worth a visit.
