The Bess Britton One-Room School House Collection is owned and maintained by the Van Buren District Library in Decatur, Michigan. It is a
collection of information about over 4,000 Michigan rural schools, along with many photographs and some artifacts. The collection includes
an every-name index, allowing researchers to easily locate students, teachers and administrators and is available to the public upon request.
This collection continues to grow as new information is obtained from the public.
To view the collection visit the Local History Department:

ONE-ROOM SCHOOL HOUSE MEMORY PROJECT
Place your memory or the memory of a loved one into this permanent collection.
The VBRGS is seeking memories from people who attended these rural schools in Michigan. If you attended a rural school, or have a
memory from an ancestor, we would like to archive it for this collection and make it available to other researchers. This contribution
would be open to the public and could be used in future VBRGS projects.
To contribute a schoolhouse memory or information, donate photographs, make corrections or inquire about Michigan rural schools:
Contact the Local History Department, by email, at lochist@vbdl.org , call 269-423-4771 or mail information to:
