Earlier performances such as vaudeville, minstrel shows, and traveling shows during this time period showed that Knox County's citizens took great interest in a wide variety of artistic culture. Dr. Ebenezer Woodward, a local entrepreneur, envisioned a commercial building suitable for housing large crowds for entertainment. This inspired him to lease the land at the southwest corner of South Main and West Vine where he later erected the Woodward Hall. The doors were open to the public on December, 1851. Thirty-two years after its opening debut, a major remodeling took place to provide even more space and adjust structural problems so that the Woodward could adopt an even wider variety of artistic endeavors. www.TheWoodWard.org
