As noted, the venue opened as the Sel-Mont Drive-In Theatre on June 24, 1949 with “Two Guys from Texas.” It was bought by the operator of the 80 Drive-In from ABC Theatres Circuit. The renamed Selmont Drive-In Theatre programmed X and “XX” films closing on November 20, 1976 with John Holmes in “Liquid Lips.” It was used as a drive-in church from 1977 to 1979 before the property was augmented with a more conventional hard-top church structure.

A January 2017 Google Street view along with the overhead view shows no screen. Only a foundation remains in place along with many of the ramps, concession stand/projection booth foundation, and vestiges of the entrance and exit roads.
