Betty Baxter’s Stage Honored in Historic Auditorium | Madison News
Description
A historic stage at the Richland Center City Auditorium—Wisconsin’s oldest civic auditorium—has been officially rededicated to Betty Hayes Baxter, a Guinness World Record holder for the longest career as a dance teacher. Surprised and moved, Betty, who’s taught generations in Wisconsin and plans one final recital for her 80th year in June 2027, was honored alongside family, friends, and fans. The rededication also marks the completion of a year-and-a-half renovation effort that saved the 1913 building from demolition after it nearly closed in 2008. Thanks to community volunteers and a $1 investment that sparked a movement, the historic venue is now restored—and its heart beats on with Betty’s legacy.
