The Historic Bonn Theater
Bonnieville, Ky
photos of the theater in 2010
The only thing I know for sure about this beautiful historic theater, is that it closed in the late 70's or early 1980's. Several long time citizens have told me the last movie to be shown was "Jaws", which was released in 1975.
I am attempting to research exactly when it was built, who all have owned the building, who were the managers, the projectionists, ticket booth employees. I am looking for any one with any old ticket stubs, ads, memories, stories, photos, etc...to let me scan them for all to see.
