Historic Artcraft Theatre

Reviewed By Missqueenie - Whiteland, United States

This is a lovely restored theater which is still a work in progress. Due to COVID-19 things are not as they usually are. This theater is run by volunteers and they do their best to replicate how the theater was run back in the day. They offer give away sand a cartoon etc..... it is a fun and nostalgic place to watch a movie. The staff is always friendly and helpful and there are several spots to walk to walk to before or after a movie for a bite to eat or a drink. Give it a try if you haven’t.
