The Lancaster Reading Room at the Abbott Museum is available for research activities. It is also offering an exhibit of photographs and other materials about the Park Theatre donated by Steve Bailey. Bailey was the manager at the time the theater closed in October 1967.

George Brown opened the first movie theater in Dexter in 1908 in the Gerry Building. After several changes of ownership it was sold to Dr. Charles Haines and Charles Wyman in 1912. They then built the Park Theatre on lower Main Street which provided several generations of Dexterites with hours of entertainment and many fond memories.
