The Palmetto Theatre was opened in 1949. It was closed in 1966. A story in the Winston Salem Journal by Lisa O'Donnell on July 8, 2017 describes how Durward Bennett and six other investors are restoring the Palmetto Theatre in downtown Walnut Cove, a small town north of Winston-Salem, in Stokes County, NC.
The community is holding fundraisers to bring the theater back to life. There are photographs from the day the story was first published in the Winston-Salem Journal newspaper.

The Palmetto Theatre opened in 1949, and closed in 1966, with the building used for other businesses for 50 years. 6 people joined together to purchase the building and have renovated and reopened the Palmetto, replacing the missing theater blad sign and now seating 140 patrons in a space that is used for movies as well as live performance.
