DeWitt District No. 6 School (1891-1957)
LOCATION:  17710 West Taft in Spring Lake Township (south side of road)

It was designated a Michigan Historic Site (MHS) on January 29, 1979 as “DeWitt Bicentennial One Room School”.    


New Groningen School (1881-1952)
LOCATION10573 Paw Paw Drive, Zeeland in Holland Township
Current Use:  Museum operated by the Zeeland Historical Society
During our visit, the school was being used by a group so we were unable to see the inside of it.  However, I understand the school was originally a two-room school.  Currently, half of it is setup as a 30-seat school while the other half serves as a community room for various events. 

Pigeon Creek School (1878-1961)
LOCATION:  Southeast corner of Pierce Street and 168th Avenue in Grand Haven Township
