About the Ruby Theatre

Chelan’s Historic Ruby Theatre opened in the summer of 1914. It was billed as “superior to most theaters, (…) the building is modern and far above average.”

The Ruby, named after the first Manager’s daughter, is believed to be the oldest continuously running movie theater in the Northwest. The Ruby also is also among the oldest and best preserved movie theaters in the country. In recognition of the Ruby’s historical significance, it was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991.
