THE PINES THEATRE | HOUGHTON LAKE, MICHIGAN | A Look Inside
Truly a one of a kind movie theatre! Located in Houghton Lake, Michigan this gem is about a 2 hour drive from Flint. Built in 1941, designed by C. Howard Crane, the same Architect that designed the Fox Theatre in Detroit. Surely, a cozy cabin feeling when you step inside with 2 natural stone fireplaces. The wilderness surrounds you with nearly 100 trophy animals. They even have a Cry Room for parents whose youngsters get fidgety during the show. Such a unique movie experience for the whole family! It's a long-standing tradition in our family to see a movie at The Pines every summer. Hope it becomes yours, too! Enjoy! #pinestheatre #houghtonlake #michigan
