Oh my! I stand corrected! I thought they were shut down a couple years ago!

To the OP….sorry for the misinformation and I hope you enjoy whatever movie you are going to see!

Don't feel bad. I don't think there are many Drive Ins left in the United States compared to fifty years ago.

Does anyone know if there are any others in New Hampshire? And, where are they?

This site says there are about 330 drive-ins in the US, three of which are in NH. The other two are Milford and Northfield.

My memories of the Nashoba Drive-In in Massachusetts, when I was 16 yrs. old, are memorable. Details not, uhhhh, well, best not shared.

I believe Tewksbury had an adult, soft xxx, drive-in. My friends would smuggle three in the trunk...Got caught and banned. Next week, brought another car.

I, of course, never took part in ...Well...whatever!

A great experience!

Here are some drive in movie theatre ads from yesteryear.

Some may be a bit suggestive.

Does anyone remember the drive-in that I believe was in Tuftonboro? I went there in the late 60s and I don’t know how much longer it was open.
