A closer address is 1806 Dawson Springs Rd, Hopkinsville, KY.

This puts it right on the property which is now occupied by a large building. There is no trace of the drive-in remaining.

The Hopkinsville Drive-In started life as the B & W Drive-In and opened its gates on July 9, 1948 with Rod Cameron in “Pirates Of Monterey” (unknown if extras added). It has a total capacity of 250 cars and was operated by Charles J. Burgless of Cerulean, Kentucky. The theater was renamed the Hopkinsville Drive-In a couple years later.

  • Unlike most drive-ins before CinemaScope, the drive-in’s original screen was low-mounted to 10ft rather than the usual 20ft.

In 1960, the theater was briefly renamed the Starview Drive-In, and closed at the end of the season that same year.
