Schroeder House

Saginaw County · dedicated 1982 · 12633 Beaver Rd., St. Charles

In 1896 John Schroeder built this one and one-half-story log home for his family on a farm about a mile west of Freeland. His son George resided there until 1968. Exhibiting hand-hewn, notched white pine logs, boarded gables, and a wood shingled roof, the cabin was moved to the Hartley Outdoor Education Center in 1978. Equipped with furnishings from the late nineteenth century, the cabin is a pioneer heritage studies site where students can practice pioneer crafts and skills. The eighteen-by-twenty-six foot log barn was built in 1981.
