The Inland Theater is a historic theater located in Martin, Bennett County, South Dakota, United States.[4] The Inland Theater is the second theater constructed in the city of Martin. The first theater, the Allen Theater, was built in 1925 and 1926 and was one of the first theaters in western South Dakota to show talkie movies. The Allen Theater was destroyed by a tornado in 1939, and soon thereafter, construction of the Inland Theater began in September 1939.[5] The Inland theater was constructed in the Art Deco style of architecture[3] and held 300 people.[6] The theater opened on January 14, 1940[6] and continued until 1991, when it was put up for sale. In 1997 the Inland Theater was purchased and reopened.[7]
