The Shiels Family

The Shiels family has operated their namesake tavern in Hubbardston for multiple generations, making it one of the most enduring family businesses in Michigan. The tavern has served as an informal community center where locals gather, news is shared, and the social fabric of the village is maintained. In the Irish tradition, the pub is the heart of community life — and Shiels Tavern has served this role in Hubbardston for well over a century.
