Brigadier General Alfred Washington Ellet was born on October 11, 1820 and the 200th anniversary of his birth is this year (2020). Ellet began investing in El Dorado in 1873 and made many trips to visit his son, Edward (E.C.) Ellet, before finally locating Butler County. Along with his son Edward, and friend Nathan Frazier, he helped organize the Bank of El Dorado, which eventually became Farmers and Merchants Bank. His last name may sound familiar to many because it was bestowed on the building he had built for El Dorado - The Ellet Opera House. The Ellet Opera House opened in 1884, and became the cultural heart of the city. It was the location of most public entertainment, from lectures by prominent speakers and political speeches to commencement ceremonies and church services. The Ellet Opera house was also host to talent shows and grand balls, as well as opera singers and eventually vaudeville. A display featuring memorabilia donated to the museum by descendants of Ellet is planned as part of El Dorado’s 150th birthday celebration.
