The Stone Theater | A Bassett Story
Once a vibrant centerpiece of Bassett, Virginia, the Stone Theater stood as a testament to the boomtown spirit of the early 20th century. For decades, this iconic theater wasn't just a place to watch movies-it was a community landmark that brought people together and reflected a golden era of small-town entrepreneurship and local entertainment. In this video, we take a look into the theater's fascinating history, its impact on the community, and why preserving its memory is crucial for future generations. Join us on this journey back in time to explore what made the Stone Theater a beloved symbol of Bassett’s past.

    We usually went to the Family Drive-in for movies and once in a while to the Rives or the Martin or the Roxy in Martinsville, even though we lived a mile from Bassett. I remember going to the Stone only once. Someone in the balcony set off a firecracker and I thought it was a gun! I wasn't anxious to return. But I dearly loved Bassett, and it pains me to see what has happened to it.

    How sad that these historical monuments have been allowed to disintegrate. This history will be lost unless more is done to preserve it. It looks like many of the homes are already irreparable. Has no one else taken an interest in preserving this history? I read the book that was written about the Hairston family. It was very interesting. I’d love to visit these places.

    When I think about all of these countries where people are starving and malnourished, I wonder why kudzu and other invasive edibles, including perennials, are not planted in those places as ever-growing sources of food for the people and animals. If it grows a foot a day as reported, the people in need will always have enough to eat. All parts of kudzu are edible, except the seeds and seed pods. The leaves, flowers, and the tender ends of the vines can be eaten.

      I saw a magazine article about my hero, Will Rogers's ranch years ago and fell in love with it. I was living in my little farm in Michigan at the time and seriously thought about emulating Will's ranch there. I'm glad I didn't. Now, my wife and I have a little 60-acre horse farm in the middle of nowhere in Virginia. This place is a better candidate for Will's style, except for one thing, my wife would never stand for it anywhere except my one room in our place. Saddles? Yep, we've got them. Bridles? You bet. Halters? Uh-huh. Being a Cherokee Native too and according to my great aunt, I'm related to Will through the Vann family. I've gotta say, my roping skills have fallen off significantly, and I can hear Will giving me a tsk tsk tsk about it too. LOL! Wado is how we say thanks in Cherokee. So, wado for uploading this lovely presentation hosted by a favorite actor of mine, E.G. Marshall. 👍🏻🪶🪶❤️🪶🪶👍🏻

      When referring to the owners of the plantation, they used the traditional Scottish pronunciation of "Harr-Stun".
