According to, it opened on June 29, 1948. 19 in Clarksburg, Harrison County, West Virginia.
Warner’s Skyline Drive-in Theater was located on U.S.
Hopefully someone will find and recognize these unknown people. I hope to remedy that someday by posting the images on the Internet. I’ve been able to identify many of the family members in the images, but many remain a mystery. Since I completed the project, I’ve spent hours looking at the photos and they’ve brought great joy into my life.

I finally bit the bullet in August 2015 and made it my yearly genealogy project during a summer “staycation.” I spent the full week inserting three slides into a tray, pushing the tray into the slide scanner, and pressing a button. I converted a few here and there and then abandoned the boxes for several years. I wanted to convert the slides to digital images but there were so many the task was overwhelming. Many were scenic shots from their travels across the United States, some were family members, and others were friends and co-workers. There were thousands of slides in the collection, spanning the years 1947 to 1984. Before we left, Aunt Jean gave Charlie 15 boxes of slides taken by her husband (and Charlie’s uncle) Ralph Murphy. In 2007, my husband Charlie, his Dad Earl, and I visited his Aunt Jean Murphy in Bridgeport, Harrison County, West Virginia. Who knows, maybe these photos will remind someone of a Valentine’s Day evening they spent at a drive-in with a special person years ago. So, like last week, I’m cheating again and instead will share a group of photos we have of a drive-in located in West Virginia. Maybe it’s because Valentine’s Day has never really meant anything to me so my mind is fighting it. I’m sure there are love stories in my tree but I haven’t found them yet. The 52 Ancestors theme this week is “valentine.” When I saw that, I immediately thought “I got nothing!” I dug around my trees, looked through some photos, and racked my brain for a good valentine story, but still came up with nothing.
