In January 1977—nearly half a century ago—a devastating fire tore through the Upstage Dinner Club and Theater. The building was built as Elk’s Lodge and opened in 1906, before being repurposed as the Upstage Dinner Theater in 1974.

With heavy hearts, we honor Harold B. Morgan Jr., a beloved patron and dedicated researcher at Willard Library. A familiar presence, he used our resources while creating many works. His preserved contributions invite all to explore Evansville’s history. He will be deeply missed.

In December 1937, Santa paid a visit to many local shops, working hard to spread holiday cheer. Today, these photos capture the civic-minded spirit Evansville still has— and they’re just as uplifting today. Merry Christmas! 🎄
