History
Sylvester and Lucy Walker were married in New Berlin, New York in 1816. By the mid-1830s they had moved to Cooperstown, New York where they ran the Union Hall hotel. In about 1838 they moved to Michigan and likely leased the inn and tavern located across the road from this site from the owner, Calvin Snell. In 1842, the Walkers purchased the tavern, renaming it the Walker Tavern. The Walker Tavern still stands. The Walkers continued to run the older, frame tavern until 1853. However, in that year, Walker augmented his business by beginniong construction on a new brick hltel at the present site.[2]
