North Eagle Cemetery ~ 12300 S. Grange Road, Eagle MI

It's not everyday that you find a grave here in Michigan of someone who fought in the Revolutionary War but North Eagle Cemetery holds just such a grave.
The cemetery is small and very interesting with lots of old grave stones.
Regal, humble, and well-visited graves could all be found.
We found the sad family history of Andrew Hill.
This chimney style headstone for a young man was a new one to us.
Most of the urns were upside down waiting for spring plantings and crocus were already blooming.
Accidental phone photos are always part of any outing and I decided to keep this one 😊
The cemetery is super helpful in locating gravesites, and you don't have to depend on someone being in an office somewhere. It's a peaceful little place that holds a lot of history.

 

Abandoned Schoolhouse ~ Eagle MI

While driving east into Eagle on Grand River Highway yesterday, we spotted this building just off the road to the north of us, on Jones Road. Sadly abandoned, the structure has broken doors on both ends and is slowly being overtaken by nature.
The inside is a ruined disaster.
After our peek indoors, we walked around the building. When foliage is in full bloom this old schoolhouse will be difficult to see so we were glad we happened upon it today.
