Razed Theater Remains of Coffeyville’s Fabled Era
The Coffeyville Journal notes the razing of Tackett’s Barn, the last relic of Coffeyville’s entertainment boom. The Tackett brothers funded top acts from Madam é Scheumann to the Marx Brothers, drawing crowds to cotillions and concerts that shaped the town’s social life. Local memories recall Will Rogers, barn gatherings, and the barn as Coffeyville’s first real entertainment venue.
