Museum at Van Hoosen Farm, Rochester
Hills, Avon Township
The address for the farm is 1005 Van Hoosen Road ;
however, the Michigan One Room Schoolhouse Association lists the address for the school at 1051 Washington Road .
Current Use: Museum
Since we went to the Farm first,
we drove a short distance to the school via Van Hoosen Road (a dirt road) which
curves to the left. We found the school
near Washington Road
(left side of road).
A coatroom was added in
1935. In 1949-50 “the middle lobby and
north wing” were added to accommodate the rising number of students.
The school was added to Michigan ’s list of
registered historical sites in 2006.
