Ardena School No. 2 built in 1855
The hubs remembers seeing it moved here to this spot in 1971 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,
and have made it my mission to find this area and train that have been restored with so much care.

Hello,
The historical buildings are neat, I like the caboose. Take care, enjoy your day and week ahead.
Oh my.. sounds so interesting. Hope you get a chance to visit the train. Do they offer train rides?
That is a beautiful area to have a stroll around by the look of it.
Oh what a cute schoolhouse! Are there ever any tours inside-- that would be neat
It's fun to explore the history of your own area! Lots of people know more about places where they've traveled than they do about their own. Good for you for taking time to learn and find these places.
I enjoy those sorts of historical things.
Beautiful day to visit this school, so neat that the are preserving this building. That would be great to find that train, good luck, maybe you can even go for a ride :)
The schoolhouse is in fantastic shape for being that old! They did some great work on the caboose!
Super fabulous little school. I bet that was a site for your hubs to see moved to that location. Wonderful restored little train caboose too.
