Hudson River Drive-In History
The Hudson River Drive-In in Schaghticoke, New York, opened on June 14, 1949, with a cartoon, Ray Milland in California and Jane Withers in Danger Street. It stood on Route 125, Stillwater Bridge Road, a short way from the river south of Stillwater, with one screen and room for 300 to 400 cars. It started out as the Savoy Theatre Gardens and was the Hudson River by 1950, under Joe Miller.
Domonick Carelli ran it by 1955, and the name on the sign stayed the same for the rest of its life. It closed on September 27, 1987, with Predator and Revenge of the Nerds II.
Most of it was torn down. The land became the base of Alonzo Fireworks, a Mechanicville company that stayed there through a later sale. The old marquee stood over the fireworks business for decades, and it was gone by a Street View image in July 2022.
