Interior of Eagle Tavern, Clinton, Michigan, September 1, 1925
01
Artifact Overview
Eagle Tavern was built in 1831-2 as a stagecoach stop along the Detroit-to-Chicago road. In the early 1900s, during its use as a private residence, this former hotel and tavern fell into disrepair. Interior photographs from 1925 show neglected and deteriorating rooms. Two years later, Henry Ford bought the structure and relocated it to Greenfield Village for restoration.
