This 600 car ozoner opened in 1951 and was owned by John Kohler. It had a long run serving the people of Jefferson County. Towards the end it would hold flea markets on the week ends and show the movies at night. It finally went to a week end only operation and soon closed as a drive-in giving way to being a flea market only. The drive in still stands and is still used for the flea market. It still has the big 61 South road side marquee announcing events at the flea market.
