Yeah, people get really confused here. Sometimes we have to find which one is which. Just like there are two Madison Theatres, one in Madison and the other in Nashville.

This image and several others in the photos are not the Colonial Twin. You’ll note that the ads that say Colonial Twin say it was in Hendersonville. It did start out as a single and added an additional screen later. I remember seeing it in the 80s. There is a good pic of the drive-in in the photos here. The Colonial was at OHB and Gallatin rd. It was a different theatre.

Opened with Randolph Scott in “Albuquerque” (unknown if extras added). It was last operated by Martin Theatres, and closed on September 25, 1983.

This Drive-in closed long before 1983. The Giant Foods store opened on this site in Dec 1970. https://www.newspapers.com/newspage/111988053/

There was another Colonial Drive in theater. This was a newer version of the original at Old Hickory Blvd. This was where they moved when they closed that Colonial Drive In at Old Hickory Blvd..The reopened it farther out in the suburbs of Hendersonville TN. It reopened as a twin theater on Center point road as the Colonial Twin Drive In. It thrived until it was floods by the creek that bordered the property and never really recovered. The marquee and crumpled screen is the only remaining evidence of theater there to this day. Before the Army Corp of Engineers dredged the creek and deepened the creek channel there use to be some really fun fishing in the creek there. It had carp,gar, catfish and bass.

Could this Drive-in Had a name change? In 1956 in the Motion Picture Almanac there is a Montague Drive-in in Madison that held 810 cars and was owned by C.H.Kurtz.
