Closed on September 22, 1985 with “E.T.” and “Cloak & Dagger”.
Opened on October 8, 1948 with Maria Montez in “Monterey” (unknown if extras added), featuring a 30x40ft Motiograph projectors, a 12x40ft electrical corridor, 20,000 feet of wire, and 450 in-car speakers in total.
A closer address is 4991 Old Louisville Rd, Bardstown, KY.
Google Maps has updated their addresses and this puts it right on the property.
The old screen is standing. There appears to be some framework indicated a widescreen had been placed on the frontside, but now it is basically gone. The projection booth/concession stand is also just a shell of its former self.
The large building on the south side of the property barely gets into the ramps. So, it’s possible that the drive-in could be restored. However, it would take some work.

This drive in is located on Louisville Road between Walnut Creek and Olde Towne Roads. There is now a large building on the property next to the screen.
