Artifact Overview

The Scotch Settlement School was built in 1861 in Dearborn Township, Michigan. Henry Ford (1863-1947) attended this one-room schoolhouse from age seven to ten. Ford restored the building in 1923 -- one of his first restoration projects. He later moved the schoolhouse, and it became the first classroom of the Greenfield Village school system Henry Ford started in 1929.
