This drive-in has changed ownership and changed it name to the Jesup Drive-In Theater. Please change the listing. This drive-in is the oldest “living” drive-in in Georgia and one of only four remaining in the state. They just added a digital movie projector to screen one. They have a new web site that will go “live” any day now: http://www.jesupdrivein.dreamhosters.com/

Jesup Drive In Theater has re-opened with new owners, Ralph and Jamie Hickox. They are restoring the theater back to the 50’s theme as a historical landmark. www.jesupdrivein.com, FB: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Jesup-Drive-In/220236301412224

This is possibly the oldest Drive-In in Georgia founded in 1948. Any old photos or historical information would be appreciated.

The original Drive In was the “Family Drive In” built by Ward P. Riggins Sr. who also owned and built the Strand Threater downtown, in the middle of Jesup. We are working on a history of the two theaters.
