Atchison Globe, Nov. 18, 1990: “The Liberty Theatre in Horton ran its last show in the early 1980s according to Forrest Keener, one of a group of citizens who purchased the theater from Eddie Landau in the 1960s to try to keep it going. The building is now condemned and has barricade blocking the entrance. LeRoy Paden, mayor of Horton, said the city plans to tear it down.”
The Liberty Theatre was to the right of the building with the cedar shingles. It was razed in the late 1980’s. It started as a Vaudeville theatre. Silent pics were showed there, then on to talkies. I was a projectionist there when I was in high school – my dad ran the booth. It was still running movies when I left in 1984.
It appears that this theater has been demolished.
