Description
Henn Theatre
Murphy, NC
There is no experience like viewing a first run movie in an old historic home town, downtown, local movie theatre and the Henn Theatre is one of the few places one can do this and experience the culture and history of small town America. If you happen to be staying in the Murphy area for a day or two or more, stop in and enjoy stepping back in time by taking in a movie, have some popcorn and a soft drink in this historic location.
The historic Henn Theatre, with its eye catching exterior wall, is located in the historic section of downtown Murphy, NC and has been at its current location since 1941. There were 23 theatres operated by P.J. Henn and this is the only one of two that survived the Great Depression. In 2009 the theatre was damaged by a fire with the stage and back stage section suffering considerable damage. The main auditorium and front areas of the building had smoke damage only. All of the damage was repaired, upgrades were made and the theatre was back in operation a few months after the fire occurred and continues to be in full operation.
