It includes the 1841 Greek Revival Simmons House, six other structures contributing to the historic nature of the property, and additional buildings moved from other locations.

==History==
In 1825, twenty-three-year-old Joshua Simmons, along with his wife Hannah, moved from Bristol, New York to a parcel of land in what is now Livonia.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Simmons House )〕 Simmons named his farm "Meadow Brook," and built a small log cabin on the property in 1826.〔 In 1841, he hired Sergium Lyon to build the Greek Revival farmhouse that still stands on the property. Simmons continued to farm, adding buildings as needed and acquiring additional property to become the wealthiest landholder in Livonia by the time of his death in 1882.〔
The Simmons family stayed on the farm until 1915. In 1920, the farm was purchased by Sherwin and Jean Boyd Hill, who renamed it "Greenmead." Hill raised dairy cattle at the farm until his death in 1961.〔 The farm was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972, and the city of Livonia purchased in 1976 for use as a park,〔 and moved other historic structures, including a number of pre-Civil War houses, onto the grounds. As of 2010, the property is open to the public.
