The Hearne Drive-In opened in 1950 and was operated by T.J. Arhopulos. The screen tower front faced out toward FM 485. The last advertisement found for the theater was September 1966. The drive in stood for a few years before being torn down and a convenience store and a motel was built on the property. They have since been torn down and in 2011 a large Love’s truck stop was built.

The Hearne Drive-In opened its gates on November 2, 1950 with Barry Fitzgerald in “Naked City” along with an unnamed Tom And Jerry cartoon, an unnamed Pete Smith Specialty, and an unnamed FitzPatrick Traveltalks. The theater’s original screen tower measures 14ft wide, 62ft long, and 60ft high.
The screen faced almost due south, which is unusual for drive-ins.
