Travel back to the golden age of cinema at the Venango Museum’s Silent Film Series. Classic films come alive with live music played on our historic 1928 Wurlitzer theater organ, originally from Oil City's Latonia Theater. All season long, you can enjoy some of the silent era’s most beloved movies, including comedies, adventures, and haunting classics, shown just as they were originally meant to be experienced.
Seating is limited to 100 guests. Advance tickets strongly recommended.
This project/event was made possible in part by a Venango County Tourism Event Support Grant and the Jack Rowley Charitable Trust.
Tickets are available for purchase below. Museum Members received discounted admission. Please note that membership will be confirmed at check-in on the day of each film screening. If you purchase tickets at the member discount and are not a member, you will be required to upgrade your ticket on the day of the screening to be admitted. You can become a member by clicking here.
