The Ohmann Theater in Lyons has been a cinematic staple since 1915 — and it’s still run by the family that built it.
Originally opened by Burt Ohmann, the historic theater was fully renovated in 2005 by his grandson, Bob Ohmann. Its iconic blinking marquee remains a beloved landmark, and the theater continues to show first-run films. “Gone With the Wind” and “Jaws” were among its biggest hits over the decades.
Now over a century old, the Ohmann is one of the region’s most enduring movie houses.
