It is great to see that so many of them are still preserved for us to enjoy. Another Inn that was located on the Grand River trail (which runs between Detroit and Lansing) is the New Hudson Inn. http://www.newhudsoninn1831.com/oldest-bar-michigan.html The Inn is located in New Hudson in Oakland County. It is believed to be the oldest operating Bar in Michigan.
