Out for a drive in Howell Township, we came across...
built in 1855 it operated as a one room educational facility for children in that rural area.
A single room school with a 15 x 16 foot frame, and an outhouse, the structure later became a church,
as it resembled a church, a new school was built.
It later became a school again and parents were required to pay for their children to be educated here.
It was moved here to this spot in 1971,
the hubs saw it being placed here as he went by on the school bus.
He grew up here in Howell Township were the school is now located.

The Caboose from the 1888 train has been restored beautifully.I found these pictures on line,
I would like to find this train that has been rejuvenated with so much care.
- history is not a burden on the memory, but an illumination of the soul -

loved seeing this old school, Debbie. I love old historical places like this. How is that sweater coming?
That is such a neat school house. I always wondered how teachers managed to teach children of different ages in a one room.
It is nice the school has been kept up. Living in a caboose sounds like fun.
