Thank you for supporting Historic Ithaca's and Wharton Studio Museums programming.

Historic Theater Tour, Ithaca, NY

October is Silent Movie Month in Ithaca! Join Historic Ithaca and Wharton Studio Museum and relive Ithaca's movie palace heyday on a guided walking tour of its historic theaters and their original locations.  We'll stop at many of the theater buildings that are still standing -- along with the locations of theaters that no longer exist -- and delve into Ithaca's heyday as the "biggest little movie city," when our very own Wharton, Inc. Studios produced many of the movies that were being shown in these downtown theaters one hundred years ago. Our walk will end at the Canopy Hotel's Strand Cafe, named for Ithaca's famous Strand Theatre. Preservation Services Director Christine O'Malley and writer and historian Roger Kimmel Smith will lead the tour. Meet outside of The History Center of Tompkins County at 110 N Tioga St. on The Commons.
