The Capitol Drive-In was opened June 29, 1950 with Susan Hayward in “Tulsa”. It was operated by Video Independent Theaters Inc. They were still the operators in 1955. It was closed in 1969, possibly screening The Beatles “Yellow Submarine”. It was still standing in 1982.

Approx. location for this drive-in north of the town on Hwy. 283. You can see the outline just north of the Abundant Life Church.
A house now sits on the property about where the screen was located. You can still see the outline of the ramps.

It’s north of the church by two properties. A new house has been built where the screen once stood. You can still barely see the parch marks of the ramps to the east of the house.
It’s now a farmland with farmhouse and church
Opened with “Tulsa” (unknown if extras added).
