Log/W

The 1st school was a small log structure. Mr. Reed Bohannon built the school for $138. In 1901, a wooden-frame building replaced the first school. It was 24 ft wide, 40 ft long and 30 ft overall height. In 1950 the school was closed as enrollment had dropped to just 6 students in 1949. After 7 years the school was annexed to the St. Louis District and put up for sale in 1958. In 1970, a Mount Pleasant Realty Company bought the school and donated it to Central Michigan University. It was moved to campus in two pieces. It was then restored by the Isabella County Historical Society and today is a Museum on campus. Open by Appointment. Upon the Roof p. 117-118
