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.
