Historic Opera House
Originally built in 1913, Craik's historic town hall was designed and built for acoustics. Opera houses like this were common back then, but now this building is only 1 of 5 remaing in operational condition in the province.
Over the years the hall has been used for many purposes in the community including a jail cell (which still exists in the basement today) It is now home to many summer community events, houses both the Regional Library and Oral History Museum and hosts a seasonal farmer's market every Friday from 10 - 2 pm spring to fall.
