Good forHistory buffsArts & culture lovers

Opened on Thanksgiving Eve, 1931, the Paramount ran films and live performances for over four decades before closing in 1974. A community nonprofit later purchased the building and completed a multi-million-dollar restoration. It reopened in late 2004 as a performing arts venue — concerts, films, lectures — with the original silk wall panels still in place.
