Carlton Township Hall

Barry County · dedicated 1982 · 1908 East M-43 Highway, Freeport

Receiving its name from Carlton Township in western New York, this area was settled in 1836 by Samuel Wickham and George Fuller. The township was formally organized in 1842. This structure, built in 1867, is recognized by the Michigan Township Association as the fourth oldest township hall in the state. A center of political and social activity, it is much the same as it was when completed and is still heated with a wood-burning stove.
