The old drive-in movie theater. Now there’s a blast from the past! Except it’s not all “blast from the past” here in West Virginia, because you can still catch a movie at a drive in movie theater during the seasonable months of the year. In fact, there’s more than one up-and-running drive in movie theater tucked away around the Mountain State. But one of the oldest and best is Warner’s Drive-In Theater, a nonprofit enterprise hidden in the beautiful small town of Franklin, West Virginia.
Founded in 1952, and still going strong. Community sponsored and a community contributor. A scenic, mountainous backdrop. A fiercely loyal fan club.
