Found it, that old local’s tip was correct. The current address today is 1260 Lincolnton Rd, Washington, GA 30673. It can be seen in a 1955 aerial image but completely demolished by 1971.

I finally found a local who remembers the drive in, he could not recall the name, but the 62 year old man said it was located on US HWY 78 coming out of Thomson, Ga.the Box office stood for a long time, colored pink he thought…..at least we have the road it was on..

I think you have it.300 cars is alot for a town that size,but i guess there is no set limits on cars.The Wilkes Theatre{on CT} was a Martin Theatre. It is about 40 miles from my home.My 1956 Motion Picture Almanac has a Washington Drive-in listed under the Martin banner. Thanks.

Mike, do you happen to know the address or crossroads of this drive-in?

I found a Martin Drive-In in Washington from ABOUT 1955-1975, it held 300 autos. Martin Theaters of Georgia, Incorporated also owned this drive-in till at least 1967. That’s all the info I have, think it’s the same theater.
