Brown’s Opera House was opened in late-January 1909. On February 21, 1924 it was renamed Liberty Theater. This theater is in good condition, but does not appear to show movies any longer.

First opened as the Brown’s Opera House in late January 1909, although it might have an earlier name beforehand but was unknown at this time. It became the Liberty Theatre on February 21, 1924 after being taken over by Elmer Lewis.
