Built in 1908 and originally named the Gem Theater, THE GEM was once a silent film theater and vaudeville hall through the early 1920s. It later became a meeting room for local union workers. In the 1950s it was called The Hog Shop on main where they sold and repaired Harley motorcycles. It was then vacant until the 1990s when it became a photography studio. In 2007, Chaplin's: The Music Cafe opened offering live music, events, and recording. In 2022 Chaplin's rebranded to what is known today as THE GEM.
