Movies are a Gold Mine

Normally you would not think a theater this new has any history and would have no reason to be a point of any interest but I found in researching another of these VRC's that this one is special.

There was once a Gold mine located right here. This theater is built over one of the Rea Gold Mine shafts. I lived very near here and have visited this theater in it's many incarnations over the years and had no idea that there was ever a mine here. Thomas Jefferson “Captain” Renfrow, the founder of Renfrow Hardware and General Merchandise made much of his fortune right here.
