The Mount Harrison Heritage Foundation is very excited to announce that it has a new home at the Burley Theatre! We are extremely grateful to the Goode Motor Education Foundation for purchasing the building for our use as well as to the Harris family for maintaining it as a theater for over 100 years! This beautiful building built in 1914 needs a lot of love to bring it back to its glory days. Our vision is to create a true community theater space that will be used for plays, musicals, concerts, recitals, business meetings / trainings, classic movies, private events and more.
We are applying for multiple grants that will help us but most grants require a community match and many of our needs are urgent.
We would like to thank the following for already giving us support:
The Goode Motor Education Foundation for purchasing the building (that one is kind of HUGE!)
Idaho Heritage Trust for $100,000 grant.
The Lion’s Club roof donation of $60,000
System Tech for donating our state-of-the-art sound equipment (valued at over $30,000!)
Minidoka Memorial Hospital for donating $6,000 towards upgrading lights
The King Fine Arts Center for donating several pieces of used equipment
Dozens of community members that have helped with our “Cleanup Day” events
