Grand Ledge Opera House

Grand Ledge Opera House The historic Grand Ledge Opera House is the perfect location for weddings, receptions, special banquets, formals and business meetings.
(215)

We offer the Grand Hall Ballroom and Terrace Level Room which includes a patio and gardens for rent. The Opera House opened in 1884, when Grand Ledge was a thriving resort community. The Structure at 121 South Bridge Street first was Riverside Roller Skating Rink. Later, it became Blake's Opera House, a home to traveling theatrical troupes, community athletic events and gatherings. In 1909 the bui

lding became Sackett's Opera House, then, briefly, a movie theater. In the late 1920's it was converted to a furniture store. In the 1980's it was donated to the Grand Ledge Area Hisorical Society by the Mapes family of Sunfield. The restoration was a joint effort of the Grand Ledge Area Historical Society and the Grand Ledge Area Chamber of Commerce. Presently it is available for wedding ceremonies and receptions, parties, meetings, conferences and musical performances.

Built in 1884, the Grand Ledge Opera House has served many purposes over its long history, from a roller rink to a furniture store, to the cherished venue we know today.

As a nonprofit organization, we rely on community support to maintain and preserve this historic gem. Every dollar raised goes directly into the building, keeping it safe, welcoming, and available for generations to come.

Earlier this year, the Opera House was temporarily closed for flood repairs, which delayed our usual fundraising efforts. As we return to serving the community, we are launching our first capital campaign since the buildingโ€™s original restoration 30 years ago.

Our goal is to raise $50,000 for essential exterior improvements, including resealing the roof and restoring the riverside deck. These projects are vital to protecting the building and ensuring it remains a vibrant space for community use.

Individual or corporate gifts, no matter the size, help sustain this treasured community space.

Donate today and be part of preserving Grand Ledge history: https://gloperahouse.com/

Thank you in advance,
