You won't find many places that have a tradition of hospitality as long and colorful as the Livonia Inn. From its origins as the "Commercial House" during the post-Civil War era - when Livonia was a booming center for agriculture, rail transportation, salt mining, small manufacturing, and recreation - to its present operation as a restaurant and lounge, the Livonia Inn has been welcoming guests for over 100 years.
For years the Inn's spacious front porch was a popular place for townspeople, politicians and visitors to exchange opinions and gossip. A place where baseball teams, veterans, and carnival groups posed for photos and posterity. And during Prohibition, the Inn's bar changed from a saloon to an ice cream parlor.
