Ingham County Historical Commission

Here is a picture of children in front of Delhi District No. 3, Grovenburg Schoolhouse offered by Mike Pasichnyk, who grew up in the area, but could not identify any of the children. . Not sure of the date, probably 1945 - 1950. Does anyone recognize any of the kids.

The "Ingham County Rural One-Room Schools" book missed the schoolhouse noted in Section 1, Onondaga Township. It was known as the Peak/Peek School. John Peek's will (probated 1869) mentions "about one acre given to the school." Per Ron Whittaker, his grandfather, Charles William Couch (1880-1937), tore the log schoolhouse down about 1925.

Congratulations to the Leslie Area Historical Society and Museum! Last night, February 25, 2025, at the Ingham County Board of Commissioner's meeting, Sheryl Hemstreet, the Society's president, surrounded by many of the Museum's volunteers, accepted the 2024 Heritage Award - shown below in front of Mrs. Zimmerman.
The Heritage Award recognizes knowledge about and commitment to Ingham County's past and celebrates and promotes achievements that may otherwise go unnoticed.
Leslie and its residents have a rich and varied history that is well represented in the Leslie museum's displays. Currently, the museum is featuring one of the largest public collections of memorabilia and artifacts of award-winning children’s author Holling Clancy Holling, who was born in Jackson and attended Leslie Schools.
