Lycoming Drive-In

The Lycoming Drive-In was located on the west side of Lycoming Creek Road near the #3 bridge. It was opened prior to 1955 when it was operated by Albert M. Shafer & Milgram Theatres. I remember it operating into the 1970’s, although in its last years it was a drive-in X rated theatre.

Eventually the site was sold to a church and the screen torn down.

Opened on June 6, 1950 with Glenn Ford in “The Return of October” along with an unnamed cartoon, a newsreel, and a Grantland Rice Sportlight.

On August 29 and 30, 1975, the Lycoming Drive-In’s concession stand was severely damaged and partially destroyed by mobs including a ram-over. Multiple teenagers from Williamsport and Bloomsburg among surrounding Lycoming County were arrested from the qualification of the property, while two 19-year-old males (one in Williamsport and the other from Bloomsburg) were arrested from non-life threatening traffic citations, driving while intoxicated, and underage drinking.
