The Macon Drive-In, located at 3570 Scottsville Rd. in Lafayette, TN, was first opened in 1950 and has been showing movies every weekend all summer since.
Throughout the years the drive-in has been under the ownership of only 4 different families – Will Burt and “Ma” Haney as the longest owners and GW and Paulette Warner as the current owners.
The Macon Drive-In has proven to be a wonderful place to bring your family and friends to enjoy a double feature with at least one first-run movie at a great price and legend has it, we have the best burgers in the county.
“The Macon Drive-In was declared a historical landmark in our community on June 23, 2003 and it would be a travesty if we had to close our shutters for the last time,” said Paulette Warner. “We would like to thank you in advance for voting to keep our drive-in “out of the dark”.”
