Eagle Tavern in Clinton, Michigan, February 1925
01
Artifact Overview
This building was constructed in 1831-2 as a stagecoach stop in Clinton, Michigan, on the Detroit-to-Chicago road. In the early 1900s, during its use as a private residence, the former hotel and tavern fell into disrepair. Henry Ford purchased the badly deteriorated structure in 1927, relocated it to Greenfield Village, and restored it as the Clinton Inn (later Eagle Tavern).
