Nearby Fort Sill Army Base surely contributed to the long run of the Mt. Scott Drive-In (1950-1985). Today a Hobby Lobby and Lawton Mall occupy the property.

The Mt. Scott was moved at some point to south 11th street just south of Coombs road. This location was in operation in the mid-70’s to the mid-80’s, when all the drive-ins in Lawton seemed to go out of business. If you drive down south 11th past the municipal airport, on the east side of the road, part of the screen is still standing, although weather-beaten. The ticket booth and part of the concession stand are still there but nearly fallen completely down.
O.K.
The Mt.Scott Drive-in in 1956 parked 500 cars compared to 600 cars at the Hawkins and Austin Drive-ins in Lawton. Mt.Scott was owned by Volney Hamm.
Approx. address for this drive-in was 200 Northwest Sheridan Road.
