Only a few hints of ramps, the exit road (which is now the main entrance), and pieces of the original entrance road remain.

It looks like the Tri-State Drive-In opened on June 18, 1959 with Walt Disney’s “The Shaggy Dog”. Aerial views show the theater still in operation until the early-1980s.

The site is now a swap meet and antiques store(Chesapeake Flea Market and Antiques), a mattress store(Mattress Mart), and a jewellery and coin store(The Midas Touch) and a fraternity(American Legion). The ramps and fences and exit road and exit gate(and snack bar and bio box?) are still there. The entrance road(and ticket booth and marquee and speakers and speaker posts?) is gone. Unknown if the screen is still there?
