| 1873 - 1966 | Museum: Mill Race Historical Village. Moved to the Village in 1975, this building served Washtenaw and Oakland counties as a one-room school from 1873 to 1966. It was originally located on the W side of Currie Rd, between 7 & 8 Mile Rds. Unfortunately, only 30 years after the school opened, it burned-down. This was the only school in the Salem area, so it was quickly rebuilt. This school taught students from 3rd through 12th grade. Please contact the office at (248) 348-1845. If you are a teacher and you're interested in having your students spend a day in the one room schoolhouse. Private tours are offered at $5 per person with 10 people minimum.
