Body
Old Tavern Inn is a small restaurant that is recognized by the State of Michigan as being the oldest business in Michigan still operating in its original building. It was founded in 1835. Along with many old photographs, we also have a book on the history of the restaurant created by a local historian. Our food is top notch and the waitstaff very friendly.
