Coloma's Haunted Schoolhouse

There's a haunted school house in Coloma for ages 6 and up. Ghosts and ghouls lurk around the corners of the 1800's one room school house to give you a good scare.

Pay-one-price admission of $9. Only $2 for senior citizens!

Copper Harbor's One Room Schoolhouse

Today is the official start of public schools in Michigan and we are featuring Copper Harbor's one room school house which is still in use today.  Dating back to 1850, only about 10 students attend their pre-school through eighth grade. It is the northernmost classroom in Michigan--some 650 miles north of Detroit. Their school motto is "To do your best, is the test!"

Back to school, kids!!

Not too many of these still exist. This one room schoolhouse sits behind Warren Woods Tower High School on Bunert Rd just north of 696. Back in 1875, August and Mine Bunert sold land to the Warren School District and this building dates back to then. It is maintained by the Warren Historical Society. It last held classes in 1944 and has the distinction of being the longest serving one room school house of the city. It's open Sunday, October 4th from 1-4pm. Have you ever stood in such a structure? Now's your chance! Most of Michigan's children return to school today.... a big welcome back! "Education is not preparation for life; education is life itself." ~John Dewey
