Ad for the Beckley Open Air Theatre

Opened on August 7, 1946 with Yvonne De Carlo in “Frontier Gal”. The Beckley Open Air Theatre parked 350 cars and was owned by Clemens and Chandler. It was still open in 1966. By 1968 it had been renamed Beckley Drive-In and was still open in 1970.

A Super Wal Mart store now sits on the site.

The site is not a Walmart, it’s a trailer park. The original drive-in entrance was at 198 Dixieland Rd, Beckley, WV 25801.

A closer address is 448 Stanaford Rd, Beckley, WV.

It’s not quite perfect, just a few feet south of the entrance. But this address is really close. The entrance is now Dixieland Road and there is no trace of the drive-in remaining.
