The Jackson Drive-In was opened in May 1953 when it was operated by W.E. Blue. Today, an empty field, though the concession stand foundation is still visible. There is now a church on the property.

Actually, the drive-in sat further up the road to the northeast. A church currently sits on the property and features a bright, red roof. Plus, you can still see the old entrance/exit roads, some ramps, and a building that sits where the concession stand/projection booth once stood.
Unfortunately, despite getting an address I cannot get Google to properly map the location.

Found it the screen is all that remained by 1981 also 518 brookwood ave Jackson ga is a better address
The Jackson Drive-In probably closed around the same time the Hillcrest Twin nearby opened in the late-1970s, since the Jackson Drive-In was still operating into as late as 1975.
A closer address is 1742 GA-42, Jackson, GA.
The drive-in appears in a 1955 aerial. By 1981, the screen had been removed. Today, it is home to the House of Prayer for All People church. You can still see the general outline, hints of ramps, and the entrance and exit roads.

I cannot find its grand opening date, but this opened in May 1953.
