HISTORIC PAL THEATRES

Vidalia's Historic Pal, located in downtown Vidalia, and the Blue Marquee, located in downtown Lyons, provided entertainment for our community for years. Since then, the theatres have been renovated and are places to watch movies and community theatrical events. A museum, celebrating more than 75 years of movie going, is in the future plans for Vidalia's Historic Pal. http://www.paltheatre.com

Ladson Genealogical Library

The Ladson Genealogical Library is nestled in downtown Vidalia on Church Street. This wonderful library is an incredible treasure of national importance, not just a library, but a private genealogical library containing one of the most extensive and valuable collections in the country. Visitors from 38 states have discovered the valuable asset of the library made available to the public in 1981. The library is a part of the public library system. http://www.ohoopeelibrary.org/ladson.htm
