The first movie shown was “The Man on the Box” starring Syd Chaplin and directed by Charles Resiner. The interior of the theatre includes blue and pink curving “light fountains,” a thick red curtain to hide the stage or screen, and a functioning 1926 “Mighty Wurlitzer” pipe organ.  

Today, the Fargo Theatre is the only remaining  vintage theatre in the metro area, and it hosts a variety of events, including regular movie screenings, live
productions, and meetings.

The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.
