Garrison School

Oshtemo Township


Location: District 3 Fractional – Section 5, southwest corner of G Avenue and 3rd Street.

Kalamazoo County 1890, Published by Wm. C. Sauer. Local History Room

After the 1954-55 school year, Garrison School appears to have been absorbed into the Oshtemo Community School District. It is not clear whether the school itself remained open after that.
