Opened in 1930, the Rialto Theatre was a successful movie house until it was closed following the owner's death in 1999. The theatre was sold in February 2002 to a new owner who revived the single-screen theater as a movie house.

The theatre changed hands twice since the owner's death. It was originally bought by the person who owned the antique store next door. He, however, I was informed, lacked the cash needed to get the theatre up and running. It was sold again to the Spenelli (sorry I know this spelling is wrong} threatre chain out of Dover, N.H. They fully insulated the theatre, restored the marquee, and cleaned it up. They even bought the most expensive popcorn maker money can buy. One of the things I like to do when touring a theatre is watch a movie in the theatre. To give you an idea how dedicated I am, I sat through "Sweet Home Alabama" in this theatre.

The Rialto Theatre changed hands on March 30, 2007. It is no longer owned by Spinelli but by TBA Theatres of Massachusetts.

Here is a 1991 photo that is labeled as being the Rialto in Groveton, Vermont but it looks like a photo of this theater.
