Opened on June 29, 1951 with “Kansas Raiders” and “Undertow” (unknown if extras added) and closed on December 9, 1984. It was once operated by Chris McGuire Cinemas and later by Lam Operating Company.

I Just bought 66 Mustang here in New Zealand. The original owner was from Rome,GA. To cut a long story short, I was looking for something in the trunk and found an old ticket to this drive in theater from way back. Ticket says adm. one for $2.50
