This was the first movie theater to operate in Charlton since the then-troubled Ritz Theatre closure following the arrest of its brief owner in late-1988. Moviegoers across the town of Charlton were forced to watch first-run movies in surrounding towns including Aliba, Knoxville, Osceola, Pella, Oskaloosa, and Centerville among others throughout the following eight years until the opening of the Vision II.
The Vision II Theatre opened as a $2 first-run house on April 14, 1996 with “Mr. Holland’s Opus” at Screen 1 and “Happy Gilmore” at Screen 2 (but did had an open house two days prior). The theater housed a total capacity of 258 seats, with 138 seats at Screen 1 and 110 seats at Screen 2. It was first constructed in October 1995 by volunteers of a local donation group.
