The Wonderland Theater is a non-profit, volunteer-ran movie theater seating 186. The theater was built in 1910; owned by different individuals through the years; and opened under volunteer control in 1982. The town has always supported the theater: – Helped purchase a 35 mm projector in 1991, – New seats in 1992, – A new roof in 2000. In 2013, the town and area communities rallied behind this theater by donating enough money to purchase a new digital projector. This digital projection system was necessary to keep the theater open and a vital part of this area.
A total of forty volunteers work during the weekends from Labor Day to Memorial Day. The theater closes during the summer months. Website
A movie theater appears at this location on the 1931 Sanborn Fire Insurance map. Perhaps it simply had a different name prior to the “opening” of the theater under the Wonderland name?
