The Houghton Lake Historical Village contains many restored 1800s buildings. Historical Village Days is held annually the first weekend of August. During the festival the site comes alive with demonstrations, guides in period costumes, all buildings open and operating. There are also numerous craft and musical demonstrations.

St. Helen Veterans Memorial Park, located on the north end of town, offers a place for peaceful contemplation to honor those who have served our country.

Located in Roscommon, the 1880s built Gallimore Boarding House operated as a boarding house from 1904 to 1931. It has three rooms furnished to that period, two exhibit rooms and a gift shop. The Richardson Schoolhouse next door (1914-1955) is being restored as a museum.
