Opened in October 1950 with “The Return of Jesse James”.

A closer address is 7017 Reck Rd, Wilson, OK.

Google Maps has updated their addresses. A 1981 aerial shows the entrance road to the drive-in connecting to Reck Road, not US-70. That’s because US-70 was widened and moved before the drive-in closed.

Although intact, it does appear that the drive-in may have been closed by 1981. By 1995, it was demolished.

Today, a gas station is where the entrance road used to be, but the outline and most of the ramps are still present along with what’s left of the projection booth/concession stand foundation.

U.S. 70 & Oklahoma 76, Healdton, OK 73438

The above address will map to the location of the drive-in, which was situated to the southwest corner of the intersection.

Here is a 1967 aerial photo of the drive-in, courtesy of Earth Explorer and USGS:
