01
Artifact Overview
Walter and Mary Smith (shown here about 1890 with their daughter Ella) operated the Clinton, Michigan, Eagle Tavern -- renamed Smith's Hotel -- from the late 1860s into the 1890s. Though this 1830s tavern's days as a bustling stagecoach stop were long past, the Smiths offered hospitality to the locals and to the fewer travelers who still passed through the rural village.
