After the 1980 season, the theater continued operating without advertising. Kerasotes operated the Westville until 1984 when it was sold independently to Robert Hudson. It was most likely closed in the mid-1980s. The screen suffered damage with hole punches from windstorms in October 1986, and its concession and projection buildings were both destroyed by a fire on the afternoon of August 24, 1987.

Was open as early as 1951.

I saw the Aristocats here – so I know it was open in 1970.

Approx. address for this drive-in was 5120 Ohio 320, New Paris, OH 45347. This points directly to the drive-in’s entrance, which is still there.

PLEASE CHANGE ADDRESS TO:

5196 STATE ROAD 320

It won’t Map to the right spot if you use 5196 Westville or New Westville Road.
