Located in the Archdale district to the south of High Point. The Tar Heel Drive-In opened in 1955 by Max Reinhardt Exhibitors Services. The car capacity was listed at 300. It started showing adult movies in the late-1970’s. This drive-in was later operated by Piedmont Theatres.
The Tar Heel Drive-In closed in 1985. Any further information on the Tar Heel rive-In would be appreciated.

A Lot of Blockbuster movies played at the Tar Heel Drive In during the mid-1950’s through the early-to-mid 1970’s before the once great drive-in succumbed to the level of showing “XXX” rated films in the late-1970’s and early 1980’s.
STAR WARS played here at the Tar Heel Drive-In Theatre during many of it’s re-releases on July 21,1978. It was the only time that this movie played as a re-release in the greater High Point and Archdale areas.
thanks raysson,noticed a lot drive-ins in N.C. seem to go the triple X route towards the end.Sad.
wasn’t listed in my 1956 Motion Picture Almanac.
Above address is WAY, WAY off!
Approx. address for this drive-in was 10102 South Main Street, near Tar Heel Dr.
Here’s another drive-in that looked problematic when showing XXX given where the screen was located…
Your 10102 So. Main puts it at S. Main & Rand Blvd. where Carolines Diner and Subway Are. Tar Heel Dr. is farther down the road.
