Fallasburg One Room School House

To celebrate the official back-to-school day for children, we found the Fallasburg one room school house covered in its traditional clapboard in what is now Lowell Michigan. That is a belfry on top. It was built in 1867 on land donated by John Wesley Fallass. Today, it is used as a museum, housing all kinds of interesting artifacts. May the 2013-14 school year be blessed for children, parents and teachers!

Covered Bridge in Fallasburg

As far as historic covered bridges go, Michigan has only a few left and the one in Fallasburg dates way back to 1871. Located in Kent County east of Grand Rapids, it is on the National Register of Historic Places. It's an eerie experience, walking across this one lane 100 foot structure and especially driving over it! It is rare to be able to drive over one. Dare you to do it!
