"Pioneer settlers of Raisinville Township were the first citizens of Michigan to fully organize a school district which provided a building and financial support for basic education.

During 1828 the district built a log schoolhouse on land deeded to them by George Sorter. They named it after nearby Bruckner Bridge newly completed across the River Raisin.

A larger structure built entirely of walnut replaced the log house in 1832. The present brick building was erected in 1868 and added to in 1910. It served as a school continuously until 1950 after its consolidation with Dundee Community Schools.

In 1957 the Dundee School Board deeded the property to Monroe County Historical Society."
