Higgins Lake Nursery and CCC Museum
The Higgins Lake Nursery and CCC Museum documents the role of the Civilian Conservation Corps in Michigan from 1933 to 1942 when more than 100,000 young Michigan men performed a variety of conservation and reforestation efforts. Exhibits tell the story of how the Michigan CCC planted 484 million trees, spent 140,000 days fighting forest fires and constructed 7,000 miles of truck trails, 504 bridges and 222 buildings. The Michigan state park system carries many examples of their work still in use today, including the MacMullan Conference Center.

Ralph A. MacMullan Conference Center
The Ralph A. MacMullen Conference Center Scenic Site (RAM Center) is a lodge and free-standing facility in the park. Originally built by the Civilian Conservation Corps in the 1930s, it currently serves as a retreat center for nonprofit and public sector groups. It is located on the northern shores of Higgins Lake, northeast of the village of Roscommon between U.S. Highway 127 and Interstate 75.

The MacMullen Center was built in a rustic style with a fieldstone exterior, and has a capacity of 135.
