Massachusetts Drive-in Theaters
Massachusetts was an early leader among drive-in states. It has the distinction of having opened one of the first 5 drive-in theaters in America (the Weymouth Drive-in which opened in May of 1936) and also four of America's first 15 drive-ins were located in Massachusetts. During its peak in the 1950's, Massachusetts hosted nearly 90 outdoor theaters in the state. Since then, the number has declined steadily and there are now only 4 drive-ins that remain operational in the state.
