Warner’s Drive-In Theater Is Hiding In A Small West Virginia Town And You’ll Want To Visit

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.

These are just a few of the things that set Warner's Drive-In Theatre in Franklin, West Virginia apart.

Located at 3169 Petersburg Pike, Warner's Drive-In is a longstanding community staple and a local favorite hangout each weekend from the end of May through August.

Plus, this old-fashioned, extremely popular establishment features a snack stand stocked with all your favorite drive-in movie food.

Hot dogs. Chili cheese fries. Burgers. Popcorn. Cold sodas. Seriously, where else can you go to find a menu where everything is under $5?

Sometimes the films Warner's Drive-In shows are old favorites; other times, the open air theater features hot new releases.

Other times, Warner's even offers themed nights, like when Elvis visited the drive-in theater.

One thing's always certain, though: a good time had by all.
