Approx. address for this drive-in was 673 Main Street, Yarmouth, MA 02673.
An article in today’s Cape Cod Times says that site of the West Yarmouth will be used for an Irish festival in 2018. It’s “been a point of contention for the town since it was purchased for recreational use in 1985. In 2015, a Drive-in Site Utilization Committee was formed to consider possible uses … but push back from nearby residents has prevented any projects from moving forward.”
It listed the address for the site as 669 Route 28.
A quick check of the International Motion Picture Almanacs on my shelf show a 1000-car drive-in, sometimes called the Yarmouth, in the census-designated place of West Yarmouth (within the town of Yarmouth) beginning in either the 1958 or 1959 edition and continuing through its last drive-in list in 1988.
The address is: 679 Massachusetts 28, West Yarmouth, MA 02673
