Unfortunately the restaurant is shut down HOWEVER! This building has such an amazing and crazy history! Suspected as being a stop on the Underground Railroad this building dates back to the early 1800’s. In the early 2000’s they found a hidden room in the basement! The building and the land it sits on is SO cool and creepy all at the same time! I would love to see this place opened again as a restaurant and Haunted Michigan stop! From the sounds of it the owner is very nice. My wife and I stopped by and looked in some of the windows. The inside looked amazing.
