Lovely historical theater! It was like stepping back in time! Beautiful and well kept, clean and comfortable! They have a Way Back Wednesday where they show movies from the past, but also show current movies. Great experience.

Great building on Winterset Square. We enjoyed a box lunch there while we watched a film about Hollywood in Iowa! This building has had extensive restorative work done and is a gem. Step back into a time of going to a movie theater that was not a super-movie complex. Quaint refreshment area.

My husband and I visited Winterset a couple of days this past week to see the beautiful covered bridges and John Wayne’s birthplace and museum. We admired this historic theatre from the outside but “WOW” when we saw the inside. We heard that this theatre played old movies on Wednesday evenings. We were staying over a Wednesday evening so we were delighted to purchase our $5 ticket (senior price) and our goodies from the beautifully restored concession counter and sit in the awesome balcony of this restored historic theatre. Pillow Talk was the movie and it was so good. The girls working were all so sweet and friendly. Ellen was so sweet and hospitable towards us both at the theatre and the Montross Pharmacy. I was kinda sad to have to leave Winterset. The town and people are so charming, I think I could live there. We will be back.
