It’s the greater metropolitan Ogden area, but Harrisville is the actual city that it was in.

The drive-in opened as the North Star Auto Theater, which is how it advertised for the rest of the 1962 season. Winds knocked down the screen on Feb. 10, 1963, and when the drive-in reopened on April 10 that year, it began advertising as the North Star Drive-In.
