Although it haven’t seen a picture yet, I was told that there was also boxing in Chaffee’s Opera House. Did anyone ever see that or hear about it? 🥊🥊🤔

As promised, more uses for Chaffee’s Opera House: they also played basketball there! Talk about multi-purpose. Who knows what the “war tax” was?

We hope many of you were able to attend the open house for the Opera open house a few weeks ago. Amazingly, it wasn’t just used for opera! Look at this invitation from 1882! Watch for more exciting uses in the coming weeks.
