I created this web site in conjunction with the Vanderburgh County Historical Society's presentation by John Story and Terry Hughes at the Evansville Museum of Arts, History and Sciences on September 1, 2005. Since that time, I have contiued to reasearch and present on Evansville's historic theaters. I now have far too much material for this site, and I am thinking about the format I will use for future publication,

Updates may still happen from time to time.
