Mexia Theater

111 East Palestine,
Mexia, TX

No one has favorited this theater yet

The Mexia may truly be one of a kind. It is located in and named after the city of Mexia,Texas. It has a unique and colorful vertical sign that features a Mexican in a giant sombrero taking a siesta and is in great shape. I have probably worn a little paint off from taking so many pictures.

It is safe for now, owned by a Pentecostal preacher and his wife. He was unable to give me any history, but graciously showed me around on a recent Sunday. He has had offers on the sign, but says it is not for sale. Mexia is located on Hwy 84, between Interstates 45 and 35.

Well, I couldn’t help notice this theatre in Mexia TX listed under recent comments and realize this is the same Mexia TX that one Anna Nicole Smith was from!
