The Memorial Opera House was built as a Grand Army of the Republic Hall to honor veterans -- initially Civil War veterans and then all veterans.

"Built in 1893, Memorial Opera House was dedicated on Veterans Day to the soldiers lost in the Civil War," the opera house said in the news release. "We know how proud our veterans are of their service to our nation and we are equally proud to give back to our veterans in any way we can. We are happy to offer attendance to this event free to all veterans as a humble token of our esteem."
