Located in Harpers Ferry, to the east of Bolivar, WV. The Fort Drive-In opened in 1950. This was a small drive-in with a capacity for 100-cars later expanded to 132 cars. It was operated by E.F. Lane. The Fort Drive-In was designed to resemble a fort from the old west. This drive-in closed around 1983. The property is now used as a flea market.

It was expanded to around 200-300 cars not too long after opening, so the stockade walling around it had to go. Not much was left it by the end of the ‘90s, just the marquee (minus Fort Drive-In signage). This page has a photo of it:

Thanks Yip!
Approx. address for this drive-in was 340 Millville Road.
A closer address is 2174 Millville Rd, Harpers Ferry, WV.
Google Maps has updated their addresses and this puts it right on the property.
A 1988 aerial shows the drive-in had been turned into a flea market and the screen is no longer there.
Today, the Flea Market is gone and the property is abandoned. But the entrance, outline, ramps, and concession stand/projector booth still remains.
