Sources say the Franklin 100 Outdoor Theatre, located along busy Wisconsin Highway 100, opened in 1967 with one of the largest screens in the Milwaukee area but was closed by 1979. Signs were soon posted at the entrance drive warning would-be curiosity seekers from entering, though photos exist of the area returning to wilderness and the ongoing deterioration of the giant screen, which finally collapsed by 1999.
The area today is used for the storage of building materials.

A fun little story about Franklin Outdoor manager Bob Brill in the July 27, 1970 issue of Boxoffice: “Some time ago he announced over the public address system that a farmer’s pig was loose and on the prowl. Immediately there was a mad scramble to earn the reward that he had promised. It was intimated later that things were rather dull at the concession stand and business began to boom a short while after the scramble. Nothing further was heard about the pig.”
