Next to the parking lot for the Sturgeon Point Lighthouse is the Bailey School. It is a one-room schoolhouse originally operated west of Mikado. The Norway pine structure was built in 1907 and it is one of the few remaining one-room log schoolhouses still standing in Michigan. The schoolhouse closed after the 1940-41 school year and the following year the students were transported to Oscoda schools. In 1973, Mikado Township began a partial restoration of the building and in 1998 it was disassembled and moved to the Sturgeon Point location.
