Elder Theatre

Jackson Center is also the location of the Elder Theatre, the last indoor movie theater serving Shelby County. (The Sidney Theater in Sidney, Ohio is now a local live performance venue.) The Elder, in business since 1942, held a fundraiser to convert their digital projection equipment as 35mm film is being phased out. An urgent community fundraiser took place in hopes that the locally owned cinema can remain in business. The fundraiser started on May 20, 2013, gaining steam in the latter part of June and met the $28,000 goal before midnight on July 2, 2013.
