Lyon County Museum
The Blue Moon Ballroom was located at the Lyon County Fairgrounds in Marshall. The ballroom was built in 1929 by Ray Baldwin Jr. and John Bulowski. According to Baldwin, he and Bulowski became involved in building the ballroom after the Valhalla dance hall on Lake Shetek burned to the ground. Baldwin and Bulowski operated the business until 1938. They sold the business to Pete and Hilda Brantman, who operated it for about 35 years. Hilda Brantman sold the ballroom to John Williams in May of 1973.
Williams remodeled and insulated it for year-round use. A few years later, Williams sold the building to Marlow Anderson. The Blue Moon Ballroom was destroyed by a fire on May 4, 1981, and it was not rebuilt.
