CHRISTMAS CARDS
If you are looking for Christmas cards to send this year, consider the Christmas card created by the Williamston Depot Museum. The card features a picture of the historic National Block Building located at the four corners of Williamston. It was built in 1872, accurately restored in 2012 and currently houses Tavern 109 along with apartments and condominiums. The cards say “Happy Holidays” and “Williamston, Michigan” on the front. The inside is blank for your message and the back gives information about the National Block building plus the fact that the proceeds benefit the Williamston Depot Museum. The cards are available at the museum and from Museum board members. Cards are $10 for a pack of 10.

Ingham County Rural One-Room Schools
By Audrey Z. Martini
Ingham County Historical Commission
Ingham County Rural One-Room Schools presents information on 155 early Ingham County one-room schoolhouses in a timeline format. The chapters are organized by township according to when the township was established. An 1874 map featuring color-coded school districts begins each chapter, followed by schools listed by district number and name. Where information is available, the timeline begins with the earliest known school's location and description and includes deed and lease information as well as information on consolidation/annexation. The appendix includes teacher information by school and date, if known.
