Harold W. Struve opened the Oregon Trail drive-in on July 13, 1953 with Vince Edwards in “Hiawatha”. Struve had operated the original Majestic Theatre but it was destroyed by a tornado on May 9, 1953. The Oregon Trail was the only theatre in town until the New Majestic Theatre launched January 9, 1954.
The original theatre design was rustic as the Oregon Trail feel was accomplished with the concession stand and projection booth housed in “The Ranch House” decked out in knotty pine and relics from pioneer days spread throughout the facility. On May 3, 1957 it was taken over by new operators and renamed Hebron Drive-In screening Phil Carey in “Port Afrique.”
The address is 6150 US Hwy 136 Suite 1, Hebron, NE.
This is the entrance to the airport which is where the drive-in was located. The drive-in itself is basically gone as it has been plowed up and landscaped. Some faint marks of the ramps may still be discerned, but just barely.

Opened on 3rd may, 1953 with “Port Afrique”.
The address listed here is 12 miles to east of the actual drive-in site. This will get you to there: 40.149148, -97.587308
The address for this Drive-in is 7275 Highway 136. Hebron, NE 68370.
It does not properly map on Google maps but this location is where the airport is located. The Drive-in and the airport shared the same entrance road.
Please update.
