Two Michigan Drive-In Movie Theaters are Closing

Sadly, unforeseen circumstances have lead to these two closures.

The communities are so saddened to see two beloved and nostalgic places close, even before the season begins. In Hartford, they're having an especially hard time because they lost their 96-year-old Ramona Roller Rink to a fire.

If you have the means and interest to preserve some Michigan history, both drive-ins are for sale, and the owners are asking anyone with serious inquiries to reach out.
