=Historical Movie Theaters in Indiana=

Historical movie theaters located in our Indiana communites are treasures from the past. Many theaters, such as the Prewitt Theater, The Paramount, Marquette Theater, Lakeside Cinema, Nappanee Theatre, Indiana Theatre, Ohio Theatre, Art Theater, Town Theatre, Vogue Theater, and Avon Theatre fill a niche that cannot be duplicated. These buildings are "monuments to our ancestors and serve as a testimony to their great courage, sacrifice, and contribution". The architectural features of these historic theaters whisk us back to another time that connects us to our past. Additionally, theaters take on a persona of their own and can become a part of local legends and lore. Currently the Prewitt Theater, now known as the Village Movie Theater, the Marquette theater, and the Lakeside Cinema are closed, but will reopen soon.
