The Prairie Cinemas was originally the single-screen Liberty Theatre. The theater was converted to a four screen by Polson Theatres, which currently operates it.

The Prairie Cinemas was originally the Liberty Theatre, seen here in a 1950s view of Main Street.

The Liberty Theatre was built in 1919 by Clarence J. Severson. Severson’s obituary in Boxoffice of March 10, 1958, said that he had come to Wolf Point in 1917, at which time he took over the Glacier Theatre there. In 1939 he built the Point Theatre, and in 1952 he opened the Sundown Drive-In, both also in Wolf Point.
In comparing photos as the Liberty to the Prairie Cinemas they really did a make over on the front of this theatre. No marquee (except the flat panel) or verticle.
