Ingham County Rural One-Room Schools

Ingham County Rural One-Room Schools presents information on 155 early Ingham County one-room schoolhouses in a timeline format. 

Written by Historical Commission Chairperson Audrey Martini with input from Historical Commission members, the chapters are organized by township according to when the township was established. An 1874 map featuring color-coded school districts begins each chapter, followed by schools listed by district number and name. 

Where information is available, the timeline begins with the earliest known school's location and description and includes deed and lease information as well as information on consolidation/annexation. 

The appendix includes teacher information by school and date, if known.

The book is available for purchase here.
