Marshall, Michigan is about two hours from Detroit and one of my favorite places to visit due to their lovely old homes. Every fall they have a tour of them, yet I always seem to miss it. Marshall has some great antique stores, incredible homes and a Main Street that's largely intact. It also has a museum of magic, a Civil War Museum, one of the oldest continuously used cemetery, an historic theater with an organ and other great venues. If you are driving between Chicago and Detroit, it's a perfect destination.

I always enjoy Civil War museums. I've never seen a magic museum before though.
The top photo looks kind of like a depot. What is it?
That's the Hawaiian House.
I am always amazed by what small town America can present.

Oh, that looks like a lovely place to spend some time. I love old architecture like that.
I love old homes especially those in new Orleans.
This looks just like the tour I would take to visit these old houses. Thanks, Patti.
The first picture is the Honolulu House. It is a museum now, but back in the 1800's the guy built it after a visit to Hawaii. The second is now a bed and breakfast, but it used to be an Inn for travelers to would stop at btw Detroit and Chicago. The third is the Governors Mansion, Marshall lost the election in like 1850 to be the Capital of the State, but they already built the governors house.
