Inscription. Lovira Hart Jr., an 1836 pioneer of Tuscola County, built the Hart Schoolhouse with the help of his neighbors, sometime between 1855 and 1860. It was built on Hart's property on Hart Road, south of Frankenmuth Road, formerly M-38. It was designated as School District #2 in Tuscola County. It remained an active school until 1921, when the school district decided to close the school and send their children to the Tuscola School. In the year 2000, Raymond and Martha Hart donated the school building to the Bavarian Inn Heritage Farm, just south of Frankenmuth. Wm."Tiny" Zehnder, Jr. moved the school to this site and restored it to its present condition.
