Waupaca Drive in theater on hwy 10 east of Waupaca. It was across the street from the Waupaca Municipal Airport.

I miss it!

I lived in the house in this photo.

Hi Gordon,
How was it living right next to the drive-in movie theatre? Is the drive-in and house still there today?

Alexis,
No, the house is no longer there. It is now a 4-lane highway with all of the property on that side either moved or torn down. The theatre and this house are gone now. Other homes were moved to new locations but the house was a rental.

Albert and Dorothy Behm built the theater and lived in the house originally.

Hi Sara,
Do you have any other memories of the theater or the Behm family? What was life like in Waupaca County in the late '70s? Have you noticed any big changes since then?
