Macon Drive-in
About Macon Drive-inThe Macon Drive-in is Tennessee's second oldest continuously operated drive-in. It is very rural tucked away just south of the Kentucky state line and about a one hour drive north of Nashville, TN. The 70' wide screen shows first run double features seasonally for the low adult admission of only $6. The last we saw in early 2017, the drive-in was for sale. So if you want to own a real piece of American drive-in history, check out their website and give them a call.
