For over eighty years Hill's Opera House, later the Whitney Theatre, hosted traveling shows, dramas, musicals, vaudeville, dance, films, and lectures for the town and the University. The large public section was lavishly decorated with an Italian tile floor, red burlap walls, three handsome French candelabra, red carpets, and red leather seats. It closed in 1952.
