There’s an old war veteran that has entertained generations in Wisconsin’s Northwoods. A World War II quonset hut has called Three Lakes home since the 1940s, and it’s one of the few remaining quonset hut theaters around. It’s now a place where you can see a popular movie or the work of a local artist. I recently got to take a look around, and here’s what you need to know about Three Lakes Center For The Arts, a wonderful small town theater in Wisconsin.

It’s surrounded by lakes and forests, and it has drawn generations of people who enjoy the outdoors.

In the heart of downtown, you’ll find one of the town’s attractions – Three Lakes Center For The Arts. I explored the area, then headed downtown for a visit.
There was a big community effort to bring the building to town. The original theater in the building was designed and built by Cy Williams, a former baseball great.
But only six are still showing movies, and one is in Three Lakes.
But I did browse some local art – the front of the center is a gallery that showcases beautiful paintings, jewelry, sculptures, and more. I’ll be back to see a show!
The center has much more than movies – it frequently brings in some great live entertainment. Learn more about Three Lakes Center for the Arts on the center’s website.
