Historic Opera Houses

West Liberty Opera House

Tecumseh Opera House

In the small Appalachian Town of Shawnee, Ohio, an exciting restoration project is currently underway. Originally built in 1907, and dubbed the Red Men's Opera House (one of the fraternal organizations representing miners) the newly christened Tecumseh Opera House is in the initial stages of restoration. With a typical construction of the period, retail shops on the ground floor, theater on the second floor, and fraternal meeting halls on the third floor, the Tecumseh Opera House is destined to be a shining example representing the efforts of a committed, dedicated, and enthusiastic community.
