Michigan is full of historic restaurants that invite patrons into a dining experience that began well before they were born.
These establishments boast rich history and culture, and remain open due to the delicious food that graces their menus. While there are a handful of Michigan eateries that have been in business for decades, only one has been open since 1887 and still stands to this day!
According to a list compiled by LoveFood, the most historic restaurant in Michigan is the White Horse Inn in Metamora. This standout location was built in 1848 as a stagecoach stop and later evolved into one of Michigan's most beloved restaurants!
Here's what LoveFood had to say about the oldest restaurant in all of Michigan:
"Built in 1848 as Metamora’s general store, the White Horse Inn started life as a stagecoach stop in 1850, evolving into an essential overnight resting place for those traveling by railway. It continued as an inn and restaurant, gaining its current name in the 1920s. New owners took over in 2012 and the renovated restaurant now boasts a stylish design and menu featuring comfort food favorites with a modern slant."
