Found in the Resse Opera house before it was demolished were several posters from the 1921 Silent Film, "The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse". This film was Rudolph Valentino's  first romantic lead and the first performance of the tango ever recorded on film. This film made him a heart-throb and a legend. These rare posters are in need of repair

The Greater Harrington Historical Society was founded in 1977 by a group of citizens looking to preserve the areas colorful and rich history. Growing from a shared office space to 3 museums today, our collections of artifacts has grown to over 70,000 items, each telling a story of the areas past. Artifacts range from restaurant matches books to a forty foot neon car dealership sign, property and indentured servant ephemera from the late 1600’s to documents highlighting the City of Harrington’s just completed 150th sesquicentennial celebration.
