Open since 1939, the Park Theater in Park Rapids, Minnesota is a still-living and functioning example of the art-deco style movie houses that were built in the 1920s and 30s. The community has supported and maintained it for decades, and the new owners bring their own unique background to running the majestic theater.
About the Minnesota Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund. In 2008 voters passed a landmark piece of legislation - the Minnesota Clean Water, Land, and Legacy Amendment - which provided funding to public television stations serving audiences in Minnesota. Its mission is to help preserve and document the treasures of culture, history and heritage that make Minnesota special, and to increase access to the natural and cultural resources we all share.
