History
The history of US 23 Drive In Theatre
Opened June 15, 1951 as the U.S. 23 Twin Drive-In, built by Frank Boomer and run by Louis Warrington and Lee Stallard.
A second screen was added in 1986 using parts from a dismantled drive-in screen tower; the original wood screen tower burned in a 1997 arson fire and was rebuilt from the salvaged parts. A third screen was added in 2009. It is now the only drive-in remaining in Mundy Township.
