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.

Moe School House 1850 ~ Bowens Mills, 55 N Briggs Road, Middleville MI

Here stands Middleville's first, and Barry County's oldest, one room school house, built in the 1850s.
We were lucky enough to be able to look around inside today.
It was moved from its original location on the corner of Parmelee and Moe Roads and restored to how you see it today. Kudos to preserving this bit of history.
