From 1928, when it began life as a mecca for fans of vaudeville acts and silent movies, until its closure in 1982, the Ironwood Theatre offered a variety of entertainment options for residents of the Western Upper Peninsula. Following an extensive renovation in the 1980s, the theatre re-opened its doors, and now serves as a performing arts center that hosts films and live acts. The Ironwood Theatre is also home to one of only six 1920s-era Barton organs still in playable condition. The instrument is affectionately known as the "Grand Old Lady."

Let me know if you would like a newere picture of the Theatre. Your's is kinda dated. The building next door was purchased by the city to secure the concourse of the Theatre a few years back. Since then the Downtown Arts place has blossomed next door the the Theatre and enhaced the arts community here. Check it out here: http://downtownartplace.com/index.html See you in Ironwood -Mark
