Vermontville Opera House, completed in 1898, remains the main center of community activities. The two-story red brick building, with a cutstone foundation and an off-center tower over the front entrance, was built with funds solicited from the township and village. It has hosted stage plays, political events, social gatherings, and religious services. L. Vern Slout and his players, one of Michigan’s oldest tent companies, gave the first and last performances in this opera hall, which is now used in part as a public library.
