The circa 1910 stage curtain in Ottawa Town Hall is virtually the only one of its type still hanging in Minnesota. Kathy Burns and Don Wiebe are among those working to replace the curtain with an artist-painted replica.

Water stains and the ravages of time have taken their toll on the curtain.

Out with the old Ottawa stage curtain

New curtain being designed by student artists in New York

By Brian Ojanpa
Free Press Staff Writer

The painting will be done by graduate students studying scenic painting at Cobalt Studios in White Lake, N.Y. A December unveiling in Ottawa is anticipated.

In addition to board meetings, the town hall continues to be used for wedding receptions and other social functions.

When the old curtain is taken down, it will be placed in the tube used to transport its replacement and tucked away for

posterity.
