The Plantation Drive-In opened in 1949. It had a capacity for 400 cars. A unique feature of the Plantation Drive-In was the the rear of screen tower, which faced the highway. It was built to resemble a Southern Colonial style mansion, complete with pillars and dormer windows. This drive-in closed sometime in the mid to late-1970’s.

Saw some super scary thiller or horror pic there as a kid. I otherwise remember riding by the mansion facade on US-460.
Founded by Cecil Houck who had also started the Stockade Auto-Torium in Williamsburg, Virginia.
If you go to the Map, go to Larger and go to Satellite, that big white roofed building is on the site of the Plantation.
