Jack Wright opened the Marshall County Drive-In between Hardin and Benton on June 10, 1954 with its first advertised showing: Stuart Granger in “Wild North”. Wind and hail damaged the screen on April 5, 1961 shortly prior to the opening for the season. That was reason enough to simply not reopen.

A closer address is 1998 Murray Hwy, Benton, KY.
This puts it right in the center of the property. Murray HWY was originally US-641, but that designation was changed with the larger, four-lane interstate was built sometime in the 1970s, long after the drive-in closed.
A 1959 aerial shows the drive-in intact and operation. By 1968 it had been demolished.
Today, it is a private residence with no trace of the drive-in remaining save arguably for the entrance road which is now a driveway.
