A 2012 article in the Press Herald said that Doug Corson sold the Skowhegan to Donald C. Brown Jr. that year. It also said that Lockwood & Gordon Co. of Boston built the drive-in in 1954.
In January 2017, it posted to its Fundrazr page, “We’d like to thank all of the patrons of the Skowhegan Drive-In who helped us go digital. We didn’t get the full amount, but at least the amount we raised helped with the installation costs.”
Fundraiser now underway to convert to digital projection.
