The Iowa Theater has been honored as having one of America's most charming historic theater marquees by Atlas Obscura, named as one of the state's top historic theaters by Best Things Iowa. The theater, which was constructed at the turn of the 20th century, was renovated in 1914 to accommodate a modern motion picture cinema alongside an area for stage performances. Throughout the 20th century, the theater became a regional leader in theatrical technology implementation, including the presentation of the state's first films with sound. Today, it offers daily showings of classic 20th-century films and family favorites, along with live theatrical performances presented by the Apple Tree Players.
