The Cherry Grove Theatre is the oldest continually operating gay summer theater in the United States. It was recognized by the National Park Service with a listing on the National Register of Historic Places on June 4, 2013.[1] It is one of only five sites listed because of its association with LGBT history. However, almost 400 other such sites have been identified as candidates.
