Elkader Opera House Centennial Revival Chronicle
Elkader's Turner Hall burned in 1903, sparking civic fundraisers and the rise of the Elkader Opera House. The 1903 fire damaged the town, but the later opera house hosted vaudeville, boxing, and public meetings. Restorations from 1962 to 2003 preserved its historic role and led to National Register listing.
