Geer School’s red brick building is the third structure to serve the school, following a log building constructed in 1829 and a nearby frame structure. In 1880, elected school director William Geer donated the land and contracted with Joseph Warner of Ypsilanti to build it. The school was required to have at least a one-acre yard, ample light, coatrooms, outdoor toilets, a washbasin, and a good water supply. Its schoolroom measured 28' x 19', the area and distance a woman’s voice was expected to carry, and the building itself measured 28' x 40' and was lighted by tall round-top windows. Geer School, a well-funded school, provided free textbooks, uncommon in the 19th century. From 1829 to 1869, each family paid a tax based on the number of days their children attended school, but these rate bills were repealed by the state legislature in 1869 when free public education was mandated. Serving as a social center for the farming community, the school hosted annual Thanksgiving Day dinners, spring picnics, and dances. After closing in 1982, it was restored in the late 1980's through a community effort and now provides a one-room school experience for fourth-graders in the Plymouth-Canton Community Schools.
