Union City Heritage Water Trail

In 1833 just behind this home a livery was first
deeded to feed and stable local horses. In 1913 it was known as Bell Livery Stable. In 1937, Mr. Densmore converted the livery to The St. Joe Tavern after moving the bar business from the Riverside
Hotel next door which was being razed. It is currently owned by the Smith family who purchased it in 1975 and then in 1977 renamed it "The Bucket." It is now managed by Tony Smith, grandson of the original owner. The Smith family owns the home here on the shore
and invites paddlers to pull up and head through the fence for a rest stop and refreshment at this popular local watering hole.
