Duck Lake School is unique in that its construction and operation were privately funded. Stephen Munroe (1813 - 1890), a local physician and logging magnate, had the school erected as a convenience for the children of his extended family and those of local residents. The nearest school was three miles away. The school closed in 1888. It reopened briefly in 1911 to accommodate children from a nearby storm-damaged school.
Visit Instructions:Take a photo of your GPS at the marker. We'd prefer a photo of you with your GPS, but we realize that sometimes that's just not possible or preferable.
Also include a bit about your visit to the marker.
NEW: Instructions for logging Missing Marker Visits.
If the Marker is missing, but still listed here, you must provide a photo of you at the actual item historically honored. (This should be the waymark's "default" image). Indicate in your log that you took your photo at the Historical Location instead of the marker, because the marker was missing. Please also still include a bit about your visit to the site.
