A beautiful historic gem in Downtown Lawrenceburg will re-open to the public this week as a brand new attraction and event space. Located on Walnut Street in the City’s historic district, the Liberty Theater will be a premier original live music site in addition to hosting a draft beer, bourbon and whiskey bar plus regular brunches and special events.
Originally built in 1893 as home to the Liedertafel Society, this historic landmark is the longest-standing public hall in downtown Lawrenceburg. Throughout that time, the building has been home to many businesses and endured decades of wear and tear. Over the past year, the theater has undergone a complete overhaul with extensive renovations spearheaded by new owner Dan McCabe, who has revived the long-dormant theater into a versatile venue dedicated to artist development and the celebration of all things “Whiskey City.”
The Liberty Theater will begin hosting regular shows starting this week, with an opening-night performance by country singer/songwriter Kelsey Waldon scheduled to kick things off September 6. Then stay tuned for an on-going lineup of indie shows to follow in all genres, from rock to pop to bluegrass to everything in between.
