13-24 Drive In

The 13-24 Drive In is one of only 330 drive-in movie theaters still operating in the United States. Located in Wabash, Indiana, the theater is both a relic of the past and a modern form of entertainment. Thousands of visitors turn into the 13-24 Drive In each summer to enjoy new blockbusters and retro reels. The theater opened in 1951 and has captured the hearts of locals and tourists alike for nearly 70 years. Though much has changed in cinema and automobiles since the theater was founded, a few things remain the same. The facility still features the original ticket booth and concession stand. The 13-24 Drive In still stands on the same 17 acres it was developed on. And on certain nights, you can still catch old classics like The Wizard of Oz or Top Gun. Open seasonally from May to September, the 13-24 Drive In offers free admission to kids 12 and under, compliments of INGUARD. Over 50,000 kids and counting have seen films for free. In 2010, longtime supporters of The Honeywell Foundation, Michael and Angie Beauchamp and Parker and Katie Beauchamp, purchased the Drive In with the intent of the Honeywell Foundation operating the facility and receiving all the proceeds.
