From article:

The auditorium, graced by a wooden stage at the north end, would host everything from military balls to Boy Scout events to square dances to, in April 1954, a hillbilly show. Elvis Presley shook his hips around the stage in 1956. Future president Richard Nixon spoke there in 1960. Robert Kennedy campaigned outside just two months before he was assassinated in 1968.
