Walker Tavern, Brooklyn

Cars have shaped nearly every aspect of Michigan history since they first rolled off the assembly line. Almost as soon as there were cars, Americans began their love affair with being "on the road."

Today, classic and antique cars and trucks will show off to their best advantage against the rolling hills and historic buildings of Walker Tavern. Visitors may view vintage vehicles in a historic setting, hear stories about the cars and where they've been.

General admission to the car show and tours of Walker Tavern are free. For more information, please send us an e-mail or telephone (517) 467-4401; TDD (517) 373-1592.

Walker Tavern—part of the Michigan Historical Museum System and the MotorCities National Heritage Area—is located 35 miles west of Ann Arbor, in Cambridge Junction State Park; a Michigan State Parks motor-vehicle permit is not required for entry to this museum site. Here's more information about how to find Walker Tavern.
