The Green Mountain State began contributing
to the number of Drive-ins in America after the
end of the Second World War, and during the peak
years had more than 20 Drive-ins around the state.

In the four decades that have passed since the
heyday of Vermont's Drive-in Movie Theatres,
84% of them have gone dark or been demolished.
The few that do remain however have preserved the
presence of the past and will appreciate your support.
