The House of Representatives of the 136th General Assembly of Ohio has adopted a resolution honoring the Barnesville State Theater on its One Hundredth Anniversary. Originally opened in 1925, the theater served as a venue for live performances and films until its closure in 1969. After a period of decline, during which it was repurposed for other uses, the theater was donated to the community in 2009 and is currently undergoing restoration by a dedicated group of volunteers. This effort aims to revive the theater as a significant cultural landmark and resource for the local community.

The resolution acknowledges the theater's historical importance and the impact it has had on the area, commending the community members involved in its restoration for their commitment to preserving a vital piece of local heritage. As the theater celebrates its centennial, the resolution expresses best wishes for its future and recognizes the efforts to maintain and enhance this cherished landmark for generations to come. A copy of the resolution will be transmitted to the Barnesville State Theater as a formal acknowledgment of this milestone.
