It retains vintage features such as hand painted murals, a ticket booth, and a flat wooden floor.

The Flagler Theatre has been showing movies since 1930, when it opened as the Grand Theatre. Local businessman Clarence Wright came up with the concept of creating the first talking movie theatre in town. After he passed away in 1936, his wife Nora Wright ran the theatre until 1967. Jim Trahern purchased it and in 1974 sold it to Walt and Arthena Witt. John Witt ran the theatre from 1974 to 1983, and Arthena operated it until 1988. In 1990, Cheryl Witt began its summer runs until the theatre went digital in 2014, allowing for more screen time. From 1930 until 1954, it served as the community auditorium since the high school on the end of main street did not have the space; for over 20 years, seniors walked across the stage to receive their diplomas. It served as the town's auditorium until the screen was permanently mounted in 1967. The theatre ran reel-to-reel celluloid pictures since opening in 1930 but converted to digital projectors in June 2014.

A vintage 1930s small town cinema where the big pictures play.
