The Palace Theatre was formerly known as the E.W. Bickle Theatre. It opened on November 21, 1940 with Clark Gable in “Boom Town”. A fire in Summer 2007
damaged the building and the Palace Theatre was temporarily closed.
Sadly, the damage was too extensive and the building was demolished in April 2008.
