Now showing: The 114-year-old Marysville Opera House reclaims the spotlight.

MARYSVILLE — In the 1980s, the Marysville Opera House was anything but grand.

Police were a constant presence at the nightclub that occupied the hall. Inside, the once-stately walls were slathered in Pepto-Bismal-pink paint.

Around town, there were cries to tear it down.

A few residents saw a civic treasure in need of a pick-me-up. The Marysville Fine Arts Committee took the first step in 1982 and successfully added the Opera House to the National Register of Historic Places.

Easy to bypass many of these old towns off I-5 as you have to get off to see the downtowns.
