Marvin's Marvelous Mechanical Museum (and Bruce Springsteen too)


A few weeks ago Jim and I (along with Cecca and Jarrod and a few of their friends) headed to D-town to witness greatness- in the form of the Boss.  On the way there we stopped in Okemos at the Travelers Club and Tuba Museum for lunch (really good food if you are ever in that area).  After lunch we continued our trip east and stopped in Farmington Hills at Marvin's Marvelous Mechanical Museum.  I wasn't sure what to expect- but it was pretty awesome.  The guy who owns it has collected different games from around the world- and the majority of them still work.  I heard he has been in the same location for 40 years or so- which is funny because now the museum is surrounded by Bed, Bath and Beyond, Target, Buy Buy Baby, etc.  If you are ever in the Farmington Hills area- I would recommend checking this place out. 

There are some pretty interesting pieces inside.
