More than just history... Historical!

Since 1972 the Cowley family has been offering guests Irish hospitality, great food, and some of the area's best entertainment. All of this at the corner of Grand River Avenue and Farmington Road, in downtown Farmington, Michigan.

The picture shown here is of John and Marie Cowley in 1951, shortly after they arrived in this country. The couple emigrated to Detroit in 1949 from Carlow, Ireland. To this day they still speak the Gaelic language of their youth. Their children and grandchildren remain proud of their heritage and are happy to be your hosts.

In 1972 John and Marie decided to open Cowley's Old Village Inn. This traditional neighborhood watering hole became a mainstay for many of the residents in Farmington. And as the business became a cornerstone in the community, the family grew. Soon after the turn of the millennium, plans were underway to expand the business.

Marie & John Cowley, 1951.
