The story
Mendon Twin Drive-In opened on June 14, 1954, with space for about 800 cars. For its first decades it had a single screen; a second was added in 1998, giving the twin it is named for. Two operators ran it from 1986 until it was sold in 2014 to a new ownership group, which went on to refresh it. Sound now comes through car radios over FM, and the old pole speakers are gone. By the mid-2010s it was one of only three drive-ins left in Massachusetts. Today it runs double features, charging by the carload, and adds special-event nights, including a Christmas movie marathon in late November.
