| The Penquin Drive-in started out as a frozen custard stand in 1936. In 1946, a drive-in building was constructed. That building burned down in 1961 and was replaced. Indoor seating was added in 1973. The drive-in closed in 2006 but reopened in 2007. For more, see these websites: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6. |
