Sumner Drive-In

Viewing: Photo | Street View

The Sumner Drive-In was the last drive-in in the Hendersonville/ Gallatin area. It had been in operation since at least 1950. It was featured in a Hank Williams, Jr. video he did for Monday night football. If anyone has more information on this drive-in’s history, please respond!!
