The Woodland Opera House
The first opera house to serve the Sacramento Valley was built on this site in
1885. The present structure, built in 1895-96, continues to represent an important
center for theatrical arts of that period. Erected by David M. Hershey and
incorporating the classic American playhouse interior, it served vast agricultural
regions of the Sacramento Valley. Motion picture competition hastened its
closing in 1913.
