Opened in 1952, the Plainville Drive-In was located on State Route 152 in Plainville. I remember a major attraction for kids was a ride on the custom made miniature “hook and ladder” fire truck during intermissions. The truck was customized from a “Crosley”. It was closed in 1983.

This undated aerial photo - possibly taken in the early 1960s - shows the former Plainville Drive-In Theater on Taunton Street (Route 152) in Plainville. The theater opened in 1952 and closed for good in 1983. This photo comes to us courtesy of the Neveux family.
