About Blue Tractor:

Antoine Novotny Came To Traverse City in the 1880's. Working As A Lumberjack, he Helped Cut the Timber That Built the Great Cities of the Midwest. Along the Way, he Noticed Something. Lots of Farmers and Lumberjacks. Not A Lot of Saloons. So he Did Something About It. Novotny's Saloon Opened in 1886. for the Next 20 Years, Life Was Good. Then Came One of the Most Woebegone Periods in the History of Western Civilization. Prohibition. Novotny's Closed Its Doors Soon Thereafter. Eventually, the Dark Clouds Parted. Bill Dill Purchased the Building and Opened Dill's in 1938. in the Years Since, the Saloon Has Had Many Incarnations, Changed Hands More Than A Few Times and Even Endured One Hell of A Fire. But Through It All, the Mission Remained the Same: Give People A Place Where They Can Relax, Knock A Few Back and Enjoy Good American Food. the Blue Tractor Is Here To Carry On That Tradition. So What's With the Name? the Blue Tractor Is A Tip of the Hat To the Original Patrons of This Historic Site. the Working Folk of Traverse City Who Came Here To Put Their Feet Up After A Long, Hard Day's Work – or Even A Mildly Taxing One.
