The actual location was slightly farther north, with entry from 301, and the north side of the theater grounds running next to 242.
The drive-in appears intact in a 1983 aerial photo, although that is not an indication it was open.
By 1993, it was completely demolished with virtually all traces removed. Today, most of the land is still open.
Operated as early as 1952.
A closer address is 801 N Wall St, Benson, NC.
Google Maps has updated their addresses and this puts it right beside the property.
Although almost all of the property is open field, there are no traces of the drive-in remaining apart from its general shape which sits behind the car lot.
