Our Venues
The 4th Street Theatre
The 4th Street Theatre opened in 1914 as a vaudeville & movie venue serving the booming Magic City of Moberly. Designed by architect Ludwig Abt, the Theatre was operated by the O'Keefe Brothers until 1963 when B&B Movie Company purchased the space. In 1997, the Bills family donated the Theatre to the Randolph County Historical Society when their new theater was built on Highway 63. This landmark will host screenings of A Nightmare on Elm Street and Friday the 13th.
Little Dixie Regional Library
This year we're excited to expand our partnership with Little Dixie. Little Dixie Regional Libraries is a two-county library system serving Randolph and Monroe counties in Missouri. We have the main branch (Moberly) and three (3) branches located in Huntsville, Madison and Paris.

Saturday September 27th 1:00 PM Dr Steve Skinner Sponsored by Little Dixie Regional Library
Steve and Judy Skinner are the owners of the Haunted Castle House, situated in Brumley, Missouri, a rural town of approximately 72 residents. The house is predicted to have been built between 1890 and 1910 — the Haunted Castle House’s website lists four potential builders of the house. Since then, the house has seen the death of five of its owners. It has served as a private residence and a doctor’s office, and also features a mass grave and a pioneer grave located in the backyard. Saturday 1:00 PM at the Library!
Saturday September 27th 3:00 PM
Dusk N Dawn is a 4-person alternative/experimental rock band based in Columbia, MO. We have an album out on all platforms entitled "delirium" and have performed in venues such as The Blue Note, Rose Music Hall, Stephen's Lake Park, Cafe Berlin, and the Dandylion Cafe
