Round Hill was the only drive-in theater actually in the city. It was opened in 1951 in the Round Hill section of Springfield’s North End and was very popular for city residents. The construction of I-91 caused it to be razed at the end of summer, 1966. I-91 now goes past the small knoll where the screen once stood.
