Beaver Outdoor Theater History
The Beaver Outdoor Theater in Beaver Dam, Wisconsin, opened on June 15, 1951, about two and a half miles east of town on Route 33, at the corner of Fabisch Road. It had one screen and room for 250 to 300 cars, small for a drive-in of its day. Marcus Theatres was running it by the mid-1950s.
The sign was plain: BEAVER THEATRE in pale capitals on a board across a steel lattice tower, with a row of pines at its feet. The name came from the town.
The theater closed on September 8, 1985. The tower is gone. The concession building was still standing in 2020, and some ramps, the entrance road and the foundation of the ticket booth could still be made out in recent years.
