Composed primarily of buildings constructed in the middle of the nineteenth century, it has been converted into a park and designated a historic site.

In 1862, the Overmyers erected a farmhouse on the present property; constructed of brick, it was built in the popular Greek Revival style of architecture.

Among their premier interests was the tree farm: they saw it as significant because Roush had established it at a time when the typical Ohio farmer saw woodlots as nuisances that needed to be removed in order to make use of vacant land.

Other activities sponsored by the Park District at the site include skiing, geocaching, nature watching, and metal detecting.
