The Keene Drive-In was located on the corner of Optical Avenue and Route 101 in Keene, NH. It was opened prior to 1955 and was operated by Joseph Mathieu and Affiliated Theatres Corp.

The theater closed and the land was sold in 1985. To this day it is still an empty lot. The screen was demolished shortly after it closed as well as the snack bar/projection building.

Here’s a short video discussing the history of the Keene Drive-In. Also shows a picture of the box office of the Pine Island Drive-In in Manchester, NH. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bIRfXM8Otos

Nice video. The 1980 IMPA gives a car capacity of 400. The name given under circuit is Shakour.

The Shakour family still owns and operates the Northfield (MA) Drive-In according to their website.

Approx. address for this drive-in was 26 Optical Avenue. Though overgrown, you can still make out the ramps.
