EARLY HISTORY OF LENAWEE COUNTY
The above building was built in 1867. In later years it was called Maple Lane Manor. There is a cemetery behind the building where a monument with the deceased names was dedicated on August 9, 2000.
The Lenawee Poor Farm was also known as the Poor House.
As we are told, Maple Lane Manor had a separate building for those who were afflicted with Tuberculosis.
The Lenawee Medical Care Facility is a descendant of the Poor Farm in that both were County sponsored facilities.
