The Theatre History Museum celebrates popular live entertainment from the middle of the nineteenth century through the middle of the twentieth century. In particular, we commemorate the tent shows that toured small Heartland communities. We have an extensive collection of painted backdrops and a Toby Tolliver Hall of Fame. We have a research library of scripts, photos, and other memorabilia.
