The films can be viewed in the Cascade and Bijou Theatres in the museum.

In addition, the granddaughter of Harry Warner, Cass Warner will be in attendance. Her award-winning documentary, "The Brothers Warner" along with her books will be available for purchase and signing at the event.

The historic site will feature a definitive display of the Warner family's history, as well as detailed displays on superheroes in film and "How the Movies Learned to Talk - the Vitaphone Experience."
