Opened in 1951 as the Modernaire Drive-In with a capacity of 700 cars. By 1953, it had been renamed Admiral Drive-In. It was originally a single screen but a second screen was added sometime in the late-1950’s.
At the time of the twinning it took on the name of the Admiral Twin Drive-In.
The west screen features pole speakers and radio while the east screen is radio sound only. The drive-in plays double bills on both screens.
The drive-in was destroyed by a fire on September 2, 2010. Funds have been raised to rebuild the screens, and it is hoped the Admiral Twin Drive-In will be re-opened in Summer of 2012.
