My Dad probably had a class or two in that auditorium. He was there at the same time as was legendary Galesburg HS basketball coach John Thiel.wiu712 wrote: ↑Fri Feb 14, 2020 7:42 am The Legacy Theater began its life with Carthage College.
After lying dormant for two decades, the property was purchased by Carthage Veterinary Services.

When the recession hit in 2008, Carl Sandburg College sold the facility to the city of Carthage, and the Legacy Theater Foundation was formed.
