Opened on April 15, 1948 with “Tarzan And The Huntress” (unknown if extras added).
Approx. address for this drive-in was 482 Joseph Martin Highway.
RC Theatres closed both this and the Castle Drive-In in Collinsville on the same night, Labor Day eve 1979. The final show was a triple feature of ‘70s AIP pics: “The Incredible Melting Man”, “The Incredible Two-Headed Transplant” and “The Thing with Two Heads”. Previously it had been managed by Mrs. Jessie C. Carper of Collinsville, who took it over in the '50s from its founders, Alton and Francis Davis and Stover Terry.
When in operation the road was known as Rich Acres Road.
Currently the site is an apartment complex.
