The Pigeon Creek Schoolhouse has been relocated twice!
The Zeeland Historical Society One-Room Schoolhouse Tour information panel for the Pigeon Creek Schoolhouse states:

“16788 Pierce Street West Olive

Pigeon Creek Schoolhouse - The Pigeon Creek

Schoolhouse Preservation Society

The Pigeon Creek Schoolhouse was constructed on it’s 

current site in 1878. It was a functioning one-room

school until 1961. Leslie Fuite purchased the property

and move the schoolhouse behind his Pierce Street

home where it sat undisturbed for about forty years. In 

2001, the Fuite property was to be sold. So in 2002 a 

neighbor, Diane Edward (Cole) Fahndrich, started a 501 

(c)(3) non-profit organization. The original land and the 

schoolhouse was donated to the Pigeon Creek 

Schoolhouse Preservation Society. Paul Zelenka 

(current Vice President) was instrumental in this 

donation. The schoolhouse was then moved back onto 

it’s original cornerstones and the bell returned to a 

recreated belfry. The goal of the Society is to restore 

and preserve the Pigeon Creek One-Room 

Schoolhouse. We are still working on the restoration 

and some modernizing (bathroom, kitchenette and 

handicap ramp). The Society plans to preserve this 

one-room schoolhouse as a historic location for the 

community to use and enjoy.”
