Additional Information
To kick off 90th anniversary celebrations, the Rice County Historical Society is hosting a Historic Movie Night at the Village Family Theater at 3PM Saturday, March 19. RCHS will be showing The Quiet Man, and visitors will have a chance to see the iconic moving picture the way they would have when it was first released, according to a press release.
The event will begin with showings of amateur silent movies from Rice County's past, including clips from the Fleckenstein Brewery and 1920s car races at the Rice County Grandstand.
The Quiet Man is an Academy Award-winning film from director John Ford. Set and filmed in Ireland, the film revolves around a story of love and familial ties that are tested when a boxer from America finds his way back to the village of his birth in Ireland.
After the movie, ticket holders may tour the restored Village Family Theater for no additional cost. Visitors will get a behind-the-scenes look at the theater building, as well as learn how the theater was converted from an Armory to a movie theater.
Admission is $7 for nonmembers and $5 for members. Preregistration is encouraged. Concessions will be available. Contact the RCHS at (507) 332-2121 to learn more.
