Approx. address for this drive-in was 532 Ashley Falls Road. When the drive-in was open, this was Hwy 7. Present-day Hwy 7 runs through where the drive-in stood.
This drive-in was reconfigured after 1959 because of the rerouting of HWY 7. Look at it in 1969.
Address is: 5 Cemetery Road Canaan, CT 06018
