The Ellis Barn, constructed in 1884, represents a significant period of Michigan's agricultural and transportation history. Originally located on Dixie Highway in Clarkston, the barn was relocated to Springfield Oaks County Park in 2005.

The Davis House was donated by owner James Harvey Davis in 1926 and it remained a golf course clubhouse until 1973. The structure, which features original furnishings from the 1800s, has since been dedicated as a Springfield Township Historical Monument.
