Lake Drive-In

Located in New Johnsonville to the west of Waverly, TN.

Found It!

The drive-in was located west of Waverly next to 618 Broadway Ave, New Johnsonville, TN. It sat on the south side of the highway near the lake. The drive-in appears in the 1953 and 1970 topo maps.

By 1981, the drive-in was demolished and a mobile home park was in its place. Today, the mobile home park is gone and it is now the home of the New Johnsonville Flea Market. No trace of the drive-in remains.
