Beginning as the Collingwood Opera House in 1869, it was renamed the Bardavon in 1923. Throughout its long history, the Bardavon has often been a meeting place for important local and national civic and community events. The auditorium has filled for political rallies, school graduations and lectures.
The Bardavon holds the distinction of being the oldest continuously operating theater in New York State, and one of the oldest in the entire country.
