Located at Elson Street & South McPhearson Street. Built and opened in downtown Kirksville in 1927 with a seating capacity of 1,122. The Kennedy Theatre was operated by Fox Theatres in the early-1940’s. It was a thriving theatre until the time of the multiplexes in the nearby malls more or less put it out of business.
It closed in 1985 and was demolished in 1992.

I attended College in Kirksville during the 1970’s and early 80’s. My girlfriend worked the ticket booth at the Kennedy and I use to go to the “show” a lot!. I remember seeing a re-release of Gone With the Wind, the only time I have actually seen it in a movie theater. The Kennedy was the only game in town and an easy walk from campus. I well remember MRs. Brown and the B and B record show just up the street.
