Hull’s Drive-In Theater

Most people over the age of 35 or 40 can remember going to the drive-in movies as a child, but most drive-ins have closed over the past quarter-century. In Virginia, only eight drive-in’s remain, and one is right here in Rockbridge County!

Hull’s Drive-In and its predecessors date back to 1950. As Hull’s, the drive-in was operated for 40 years by Sebert Hull of Buena Vista. Hull’s was famous for reasonable ticket prices, its great snack bar with real cheeseburgers and frence fries, and the triendly reception of Mr. and Mrs. Hull. After Mr. Hull died prior to the 1998 season, a local group calling itself Hull’s Angels formed to save the drive-in and preserve the distinct character that had attracted visitors and families from as far away as Roanoke and Charlottesville for so many years. Thanks to this determined group of local citizens, Hull’s Drive-In has the distinction of being the only community operated drive-in in America and the only one with 501(c)3 status as a non-profit organization.

Hull’s Drive-In is located four miles north of Lexington on U.S. Rt. 11. The season begins the first weekend in April and runs through mid-October, with double feature shows every Friday, Saturday and Sunday. For more information on what’s playing, check the movie listings in The News-Gazette.
