70+ Years of Old Fashioned Movie Fun
The legacy of the Northfield Drive-In spans back to August of 1948, opening just in time to welcome movie-loving visitors before the seasons end. Though the Drive-In was to have opened four months earlier, contractor issues caused then owner Carl Neilman to delay the first season opening.
Continuing on from its awkward beginning, the Northfield Drive-Inโs storied history now spans many decades filled with laughter, smiles, and clean wholesome family fun. Today the Northfield Drive-In remains as one of less than 20 drive-in theaters still remaining in all of New England.
The original owner, Mr. Carl Nilman, was a pioneer in the drive-in business, eventually owning 10 to 15 drive-in theatres throughout New Hampshire and Massachusetts. Today the Northfield Drive-In is the last of these 15 theatres still in operation today. And though the original screen was destroyed by a hurricane in 1951, the re-built screen is still used today, maintaining the original dimensions of 80 feet wide by 54 feet in height.
In 1967 theatre ownership changed hands when the Shakour family purchased the Northfield Drive-In. Over the next 50+ years (and through many technological changes) Mitchell Shakour and eventually his wife Carla and children Gabriel and Lili ran the Northfield Drive-In.
