Hwy 17 Drive-In

The Hi-Way Drive-In was opened on May 2, 1950 when it was operated by Jimmy Earnhardt. I was told by the Postmaster in Creswell that she remembered going to this drive-in and it was demolished shortly after it closed and turned into a farm field. The address above is my best guess as to her explanation of where it was.

Based on a 1952 aerial photo from NETR Online, it appears the drive-in was located where two baseball fields currently exist just south of the Habitat for Humanity.

Apart perhaps from the entrance/exit road, no trace of the drive-in remains.

Based on Kenmores information this address should change to 1366 N. Broad St.

By the Google map view it looks like there might also be a remnant of the base of the ticket booth at the end of the entry exit road toward the back of the lot.
