The historic Springport Inn, situated on U.S. 23 south of Harrisville, has a rich history. It was once the grand residence of Civil War Captain Joseph Van Buskirk, a valiant soldier who served with the 2nd Michigan Infantry, Company F. Enlisting in 1861, Van Buskirk returned home after the war and constructed this magnificent home in 1877 for his family. A respected figure in the community, Van Buskirk was a successful local businessman until his passing in 1905. He is laid to rest in Springport Cemetery.
