Walker Tavern

The Walker Tavern is a historic structure located at 11710 U.S. Route 12 in Cambridge Township in northwesternmost Lenawee County, Michigan.

[1][2] The structure was incorporated into the Cambridge Junction Historic State Park and continues to serve as a museum and venue for various events.

In about 1838, Sylvester and Lucy Walker moved from New York State and likely began leasing the inn and tavern from Snell.

[3] In addition to a tavern, it also served as an inn for travelers from Monroe en route from Detroit to Chicago — a stagecoach trip that once took five days.

[2][5] The Walker Tavern is a two-story frame structure, sided with whitewood clapboard, and located on a low rise of ground.
