Family
Drive-In
MD 51 several miles southeast of
Cumberland, Md., at community of North Branch
capacity: very small from the looks of it, maybe 60-70
cars
known year of operation: 1951
currently: part of residential area (Pine Tree
Lane, off 51)
Ads for this theatre ran in the
Cumberland newspaper from opening night (July 28, 1951) thru the
end of September, then disappeared. Unknown whether the drive-in
itself lasted longer, although it was listed in the International
Motion Picture Almanac until 1959, and in Theatre Catalog at
least as late as 1955. It was across from what was then a country
club.
Got some additional information,
or some pictures or stories about this drive-in you'd like to
share? Email me --
thanks!
