Castle
Drive-In
Wagoner Rd., off Virginia Ave. (US 220), Collinsville, Va.
years of operation: 1952-79
currently: Woodmen of the World lodge
Unusual due to its location in the midst of a residential neighborhood. Operated by Mrs. Jessie C. Carper throughout most of its history, except for its final years in the '70s when R/C Theatres managed it. Carper also ran the nearby Castle Court Motel.

drive-in and surrounding area.
Click here to see a 1995 aerial photograph of the
drive-in lot. The old projection building was still standing at
the time. The larger building to the upper left is the Woodmen's
lodge.
