History
The history of Unadilla Drive-In Theater
Unadilla Drive-In opened May 29, 1956 with Alan Ladd in "The McConnell Story" and Victor Mature in "Chief Crazy Horse". A windstorm destroyed the original wooden screen in early 2012 and a new screen went up around 2013.
It has since added a digital projector and a renovated snack bar and restrooms. The Wilson family, owners for 27 years, sold the drive-in to Jason and Julie Miller in April 2022, and the Millers kept it running as a drive-in.
