The Hayloft Theatre Barn was constructed in 1902. From 1919 into the 1940s, the barn was part of a working farm owned by the Solomon Schiedel family. In the 1940s, Mary and Vern Meyers purchased the barn and developed it into the Hayloft Theatre. The theatre closed in 1952. In 1992, it was relocated from its original site on East Milham Avenue to the Celery Flats Historical Area, where the first new performance in forty years premiered on August 6. The Hayloft Theatre is owned and operated by the City of Portage.
