Monett museum recreates historic theater
A year-long project to recreate one of Monetts historic social hubs at the Monett Museum has been completed.
In October 2020, the Monett Museum launched an effort to reconstruct a miniaturized rendition of the Gillioz Theater that stood on Broadway Street from 1931 to the 1970s.
