Valley Dale Ballroom is a
   significant fixture as one of the
   nationally renowned Ballrooms
   of the “Big Band” musical era of
   the 1930’s and 1940’s. Many
   famous Big Bands and enter-
   tainers, including Frank Sinatra
   and Bing Crosby, have appeared
   at Valley Dale. CBS and NBC
   even had simultaneous coast-
   to-coast radio broadcasts at the
   ballroom during the early 1940’s.

   Although established in 1918,
   Valley Dale is far from being a
   remnant of the past. Valley Dale
   remains as one of the last few
   Great American ballrooms from
   this era. While its admission to
   the National Register of Historic
   Places preserved its history, its
   recent extensive renovation
   secures its future.
