Maple Drive-In

Opened May 25, 1949 with Robert Taylor in “The Bribe”. It was located in Circleville near North Huntington. The Maple Drive-In was one of several drive-ins located on this stretch of the U.S. 30 Lincoln Highway, 4 ½ miles west of the PA Turnpike. Its neighboring drive-ins were the Blue Dell Drive-In (2 miles west of the Maple) and the Super 30 Drive-In (3 ½ miles east).

Last night of operation was October 19, 1986 (according to newspaper listings). North Huntingdon Township Public Works now occupies the drive-in site.

I remember going to the maple drive in around the late 1970,s and early 80,s. The screen was down the hill from the entrance and I remember it sometimes would get really foggy and it would be hard to see the movie, lol. I didn,t go to this drive in a lot because I usually went to the Greater Pittsburgh drive in or the Ardmore drive in in the early 70,s. I remember to in the last few years that the Maple was open they would show just pretty much x rated movies, I guess it was the only way the could make money to stay open. It went the way almost all drive in,s are going now, out of business, too bad.

I guess this highway rerouting never happened.

Boxoffice, March 30, 1970: “Two noted outdoor theatres on Route 30 seem to have their months and years of activity limited … The Maple Drive-In at Circleville seems to be doomed via a highway relocation. Both are Associated Theatres operations.”
