The Historic Warner Cascade Theatre Museum

Only 58 minutes from Pittsburgh. Let’s considering car pooling.
We will meet for a meal before or after our museum adventure.

NEW CASTLE, Pa. (WKBN) — The Historic Warner Cascade Theatre Museum in New Castle.
The Cascade was the Warner Brothers’ first theater. It opened Feb. 2, 1907. Now, it’s been turned into a museum with two theaters to honor the Warner Brothers legacy and where it all began.
“It’s the only one of its kind, it’s not another Warner Brothers theater, it’s the Warner Brothers theater,” said museum acting curator Bob Vargo.
The Warner brothers began by showing The Great Train Robbery during Youngstown’s summer county fairs. Once winter came, they turned a closed hotel into the Cascade.
Bob Vargo said the museum replicates the original theatre.
“They turned into a theatre, 99 chairs — and we do have one of the original chairs that they borrowed from the funeral home down the street,” Vargo said.

“We have some really unique and significant memorabilia in our museum that pertains to the history of the Warner family,” Kern said.
“It’s beautifully laid out, and it’s just amazing what they’ve done. I mean there are things there that I want copies of because I don’t have them, you know, like the immigration papers of my great-grandfather in 1888,” said Harry Warner’s granddaughter Cass Warner.
When Warner and Kern met in 1994, the building was about to be torn down. The ceiling had fallen in due to a snow storm. Together, they worked to save the building.
