The Pioneer Theatre has a rich tradition in providing the Iowa Great Lakes and the Milford area with great movies and excellent service. The theatre itself was originally built in the early 20^th century, and it is one of the only buildings in downtown Milford to remain largely unchanged throughout its existence.

In 2001, the theatre was sold to its present owners, Bob and Sharon Mayer.   Since taking ownership, the Mayer family has dedicated much time and effort into transforming the theatre into a state of the art movie house.  Repairs commenced in early 2003 to replace the seating and update the auditorium.  Shortly thereafter, the theatre lobby was repainted and the projection and sound systems were given an upgrade, increasing the level of quality and reliability.   The addition of a soda fountain in 2005 called for extensive restoration of the concession stand.

The latest improvement to the theatre involved the installation of a state-of-the-art DTS digital sound system in mid-2006.   DTS digital sound provides our audiences with the best sound experience possible in a traditional cinema environment.

With our outstanding staff and customer service, the Pioneer Theatre guarantees you a quality movie experience each and every time you visit.   If you haven’t already become a part of the Pioneer Theatre tradition, we would like to extend to you an invitation to experience the Pioneer difference.
