History

The theater was originally constructed in 1877, but was rebuilt after fire damage in 1888, and the current theater layout is considered authentic to that date. The theater was further rebuilt in 1903 after another fire. After serving the people of Cheboygan for many decades, the Opera House went dark in the 1960s. It was refurbished and reopened in 1984.
