Spud Drive In Theatre

Spud Drive-In Theater is one of the last American drive-in theaters, and one heck of a roadside attraction. It is most famous for Old Murphy, a 1946 Chevy cab-over truck that carries a 2 ton potato. Old Murphy sits in front of the screen and has been photographed by travelers from all over the world. Of course, the always delicious Gladys' burger and family friendly films are also a local favorite. The Spud was built in the spring of 1953 by Ace Wood and opened it's doors July 3rd, 1953. It was a state-of-the-art facility back then, using mono-speakers that hung in the windows to broadcast the audio and twin carbon arc reel-to-reel projectors. Today, the audio is transmitted through FM stereo and each car can tune in with great sound quality. Some things have been updated at the drive-in, but the spirit remains the same. For more then 55 years the Spud Drive-In has been a gathering spot for friends and Families. So come join us underthe stars with your friends and families for more great memories.
