1. Princess Theater Marker
Renovation efforts began in 1993 to repurpose the Princess as a community cultural center. The Princess Theater reopened in 2007 thanks to the Meridian Club of Prosser, the PCCC, the USDA, Mercer Canyons, Inc, the Whitehead Foundation, and others.
Valley Theater Company purchased the Princess in 2013 thanks to private donors, the Edgar E. Whitehead Foundation and Mercer Canyons, Inc. Renovations continue supported by the Mercer family, Kinsman foundation, Washington State Historical Society, Washington State Legislature, and community members. The Princess Theatre once again hosts live performances, movies, and more.
Erected 2019 by Historic Downtown Prosser Association.
