The Historic Masonic Theatre has always had a way of capturing one’s imagination. Since opening in 1906, it has been a center for the arts, entertainment, education, and community in Clifton Forge, Virginia. After several changes in ownership, the Theatre eventually fell into disrepair. But in 2009, a group of engaged community members came together to save it. Inspired by their passion and clear vision for both the building and the town, The Alleghany Foundation and Locus, formerly Virginia Community Capital (VCC), became partners in revitalizing this vital cultural asset.
