King Opera House

Productions are still staged in this opulent opera house. Built in 1891 as three separate commercial spaces, it was purchased and remodeled into a theater at the turn of the century by H.P. King. Jenny Lind and William Jennings Bryant were among the notable entertainers who performed here, reflecting its prominence in theater circles of the time. Over the years, it also housed both the Bob Burns and Victory Theaters. The ghost of a young traveling actor was shot by a local physician and is said to still haunt the stage.
