Description
The Mystic Theater is a rare example of a timber-framed movie theatre. It is said to be the oldest movie theatre in North Dakota. It opened in 1914 seating 109.
There are many festivals held each at the Mystic Theatre such as the Dinosaur Days, in July, Cowboy Poetry days in September and Santa Claus Day in December. These special events along with the regular movie fare keeps this beautiful old gem going.
The Mystic Theatre went through a complete renovation in 1999. The theatre is now owned and operated by the Marmarth Historical Society. It was listed on the National Registry of Historical Places in 1977.

It's funny what light reveals. My first two thoughts when viewing this were: 1. What a wonderful, old place of Americana. 2. Why didn't they paint the "Theatre" text in the original spot that still ghosts through?

That's a good question, William, very observant from you - it never crossed my mind!
