The Historic Ironwood Theatre opened in 1928, during the glory days of mining, logging, and railroads.   In its early days, the Theatre was a vaudeville house, music hall, and silent movie palace.   It was restored to its original grandeur during the 1990s and early 2000s, and is listed on the National Registry of Historic Places. Built in the Italianate architectural style, it possesses all of the features you would expect of an early 20th century theatre:  ornate wall and ceiling hand-painted murals, gilded ornamentation, and a fine Barton pipe organ (one of only five Bartons still in their original location).   With its excellent acoustics and well-designed seating, the Theatre has been the center of entertainment for generations of Gogebic Range and Northern Wisconsin residents.     Today, the theatre continues this tradition by offering diverse performances including dance, all genres of music, comedy, theatrical productions, current release and throwback movies, silent movies, and Barton organ concerts.  Recent upgrades to sound and lighting equipment offers theatre-goers an experience that is second-to-none.   Guided tours of this 1928 mid-west gem are available by arrangement.  Check out our website to get the latest performance and ticket information.  Like us on Facebook!  https://www.facebook.com/ironwoodtheatre
