Garwood Theater

There was a lengthy article in the June 30, 1951 issue of Boxoffice about the grass-roots effort to build what would become the Garwood. “By selling shares last September in a cooperative venture, nearly 150 Garnavillo residents and nearby farmers now own a piece of a theatre that will eventually cost an estimated $20,000 to $25,000.” The town hoped to open the theater by late summer 1951.
