Education
4
Built in 1907 of Norway pine, the Bailey School is one of the few remaining one-room, log schoolhouses still standing in Michigan. It was built at the site of the C.A. Johnson Logging Camp west of Mikado for the children of the logging crews, and bears the name of a lumberman who was part of the crew that built the school. Partially restored in 1973, the structure was disassembled, moved and restored in 1998 to its current Sturgeon Point site. It is furnished with items used during its time, including a recitation bench, desks, drinking pail, and coal stove.
