Gates Hall: The Nation's Oldest Active, Continuously Operating Small Community Theatre
The Nation's Oldest Active, Continuously Operating Small Community Theatre
Gates Hall was founded in 1825 and built in 1826 by the Union Church Society as a place of worship for the community. From its humble beginnings as Union Church, this landmark structure became the first non-denominational sacred place of worship in Pultneyville, and in 1867, it became a community theatre venue, which continues today.
