n a special visit to York County on October 7, 1930, U.S. President Herbert Hoover declared the battlefield at Kings Mountain to be “a place of inspiring memories.” It is the place that changed the course of history for South Carolina and the United States.

Paul Finnican saw the potential and architectural integrity of the 100year old building, coupled that with his desire to provide a venue for the singer-songwriters in this particular area and proceeded to purchase and personally renovate it. After completely redoing the interior and adding some nice touches, this theatre has been brought back to her well deserved status as a place to enjoy the arts.
