History
Established in 1832, the City of the Village of Clarkston features historic charm in the heart of Oakland County. This one-half square mile community is surrounded by Independence Township, home to approximately 900 people and within close proximity of I-75 and Dixie Highway.
Clarkston Community Historical
It’s been said that “every picture tells a story” but here at the Clarkston Heritage Museum we would amend that to “every ITEM has a story.” Some items have ordinary stories that speak of daily events common in every community. This isn’t one of those. This is a story that includes elements of surprise, mystery and a crazy coincidence.
Deer Lake Beach
Deer Lake Beach is open from Memorial Day to Labor Day, weather permitting. Please call 248-625-8223 for hours. No pets allowed on any beaches or at the Spray Park.
