This clapboard school with its octagonal belfry was erected here in 1883, following the organization of School District No. 6 in 1882. The new school was built by Thomas Keilor on land donated by John McNeil. Students attended classes here from 1883 through May 1948, when Fruitland Township School District consolidated with Whitehall. In 1961 the school was donated to the White Lake Community Club. The club deeded the property to Fruitland Township in 1990.
