Martin Basch Farm overview
Martin Basch Farm
One of the unique things to see at the Martin Basch Farm is the hand-built log farmhouse. This structure was constructed by Martin Basch himself using locally sourced materials. Visitors can see the intricate details of the log construction and learn about the techniques used to build the home. The farmhouse is furnished with period-appropriate items, giving visitors a sense of what life was like for the Basch family.
Another highlight of the Martin Basch Farm is the historic barn. This structure was also built by Martin Basch and features a unique gambrel roof design. Visitors can see the wooden hayforks and other tools used in the daily operation of the farm. The barn is also home to a display of vintage farm equipment.
The Martin Basch Farm is a great place to visit for those interested in history and agriculture. It offers a unique look into the life of a Michigan farmer in the early 20th century. The site is open from May through October and offers guided tours throughout the day. Visitors can also explore the surrounding farmland, orchards, and forests on hiking trails that begin at the farm.

Responsible visitation & Leave No Trace
- Know before you go
- Check the operator's site (BLM, NPS, state agency, or private owner) for access rules, permits, and seasonal closures before driving out.
- Stay on trail
- Many points of interest sit in fragile ecosystems. Stick to marked paths to protect vegetation and prevent erosion.
- Respect wildlife
- Observe from a distance, never feed wildlife, and give nesting birds and denning mammals plenty of space.
- Pack it in, pack it out
- Take all trash, food scraps, and gear back with you. Remote sites often have no trash service.
- Leave what you find
- Don't take rocks, plants, fossils, or artifacts. Federal law protects cultural and natural resources on public land.
