The Village of
Chesterhill was founded by Quakers in 1834 and incorporated in 1899.
Built in 1908, the Union Hall Theater
provided a venue for speakers, musicians, artists and dramatic
entertainers of the Chautauqua educational performance circuit for the
first few decades of the 20th century. Beginning in the late 30’s or
early 40’s, movies were shown that are still fondly remembered by many
residents. Now a group of dedicated volunteers is reviving this 325-seat theater
on a non-profit basis with exciting and diverse programming and raising
funds to restore it to its original splendor.
