Rochester, Indiana's Times Cinema, now more often known as The Times Theater, was originally built…read morein 1923 and opened as a movie house known as the Char-Bell. It was built on the site of a former auto dealership with some of its bricks coming from a nearby demolished college. It started as a cinema for silent films, became a two-screen cinema, and throughout its history functioned in a variety of ways for the Rochester/Fulton County community including hosting of live events, movies, performances, and in many other capacities. It closed in 2014, however,by 2016 a movement began to re-open it as a sort of community hub. While there's still much restoration to go, thus the 4-star instead of the 5-star, this is my favorite kind of movie house space and it's even more delightful that The Native Nook is right next to it. In some ways, the space reminds me a lot of Indy's Emerson Theater, though I give a slight nod to the Times Theater in terms of the way it is being used and its overall potential. The Char-Bell name came from its original owners - Charles and Belle Krieghbaum. It was originally a 780-seat theater. In 1942, it came under new ownership and the name was changed to The Times Cinema. The cinema actually closed in 1973, however, it re-opened a year later with owners and in 1979 the cinema was split into two screens. In 1985, a fire damaged the cinema and it closed briefly. However, it was repaired and re-opened. It closed on January 1, 2014 due to the inability of the owners to afford the cost of switching to digital projection. Just today, the Times Theater is hosting a fundraiser as they continue to work on renovation and restoration. Currently billing itself as a "community and entertainment center," The Times Theater uses its marquee often for special events and community announcements. These days, it also is reminding me of Franklin's Artcraft Theatre. I've always loved spaces like The Times. Of course, it's kind of a fantasy to own an older theater one day. For now, I'll simply continue to support those who actually do. Here's to new life for The Times Theater in Rochester, Indiana!

There is a $5 admission fee with discounts for seniors and kids. The first floor contains local artifacts and information on local history. We learned about Honeywell, the Wabash Cannonball and much more. I found information on the Courthouse. The second floor hosts an interactive learning center and a play area for kids. Boisterous toddlers were having fun playing. A wall of displays holds information about influential local figures. A manager, Cody, was engaging and gave us an area guide with a County map and told us about the origins of the Museum. The staff is friendly. A conference room is available on the first floor. There is a small gift area with books, shirts and other Wabash gift merchandise. The museum sponsors events throughout the month. An EV charging station is available out front and lots of free parking. This is one of the nicest local museums that we've visited in Indiana and was worth the stop. Plan about two hours to visit (and longer if you bring kids). Museum memberships are available.

The location was the signing location of the historic Treaty at the Forks of the Wabash in 1838. The park is located along the Wabash River. They offer tours, educational programs and events throughout the year. When we visited in October, we noticed that their Haunted Trail was taking place. We were there for a Wedding Reception in their event space. The space had everything required with space for tables, as well as a DJ booth in a rectangular area with a kitchen that could be closed off as needed at one end. The restrooms were not large but were adequate and clean. Parking outside was shared with the public using the trails and park area but seemed to accommodate both well.

This is a nice big space with window overlooking the driving range. Plenty of room for tables and a dance floor. Years ago I attended a high school reunion here and I don't remember it looking this nice. That was before it was Milestone Event Center. Stan's Bar and Grille is attached but they weren't open when we were there. Out front they had business flyers advertising services like cakes to photos for events. They are hosting an Alternative Prom soon. Have many all inclusive events.
