The Lincoln Theatre
The beautifully restored Lincoln Theatre, Inc., is located in downtown Marion, Virginia, an official Virginia Main Street community. The theatre is a major anchor in the community's downtown revitalization and preservation efforts. The renovated theatre now hosts plays by community theatrical groups, local high school drama clubs, and traveling tour groups from around the globe as well as being the backdrop for the nationally syndicated and award-winning Song of the Mountains, which showcases the area's Appalachian mountain musical heritage and talent.

Today, the Lincoln Theatre is one of the area's finest examples of what teamwork, determination and community empowerment can do and is a gift that will enhance the lives of many who enter its doors for generations to come. It was listed on the Virginia Landmarks Register and the National Register of Historic Places in 1992. In 2000, The Lincoln Theatre was designated an official project of Save America's Treasures, a public-private partnership between the White House Millennium Council and the National Trust for Historic Preservation. The theatre, located on Main Street, is part of the Town of Marion's recognized historic district. Visitors to the downtown area will find historic buildings with varied architecture, including the elegantly restored General Francis Marion Hotel, originally built in 1927. Marion has been a Virginia Main Street since 1995 and is part of the National Main Street program. Visit www.marionva.org or www.mariondowntown.org
