Walker Tavern, Federal architecture stagecoach stop in Brooklyn, Michigan, US
The white frame structure at Cambridge Junction Historic State Park features two stories with whitewood clapboard and hand-hewn white oak timber construction.
Calvin Snell built the tavern in 1832, and Sylvester Walker purchased it in 1843, transforming it into a primary rest point between Detroit and Chicago.
The establishment functioned as both an inn for travelers and a gathering place where local communities held political and religious meetings during the 1840s.
Located at 11710 U.S. Route 12 in Cambridge Township, the museum operates seasonally from spring to fall with historical presentations about pioneer life.
The tavern maintains records of charging travelers 25 cents for meals in the 1840s, with guests sharing sleeping accommodations during their five-day Detroit-Chicago journey.
