Louhelen Bahá'í School is one of three leading institutions owned by the National Spiritual Assembly of the Bahá'ís of the United States. The others are Green Acre Bahá'í School and Bosch Bahá'í School.

In 1930, soon after he had become a member of the Bahá'í Faith, L. W. Eggleston purchased a farm near Davison, Michigan with the express intention of using the grounds and facilities for a Bahá’í Summer School - in the same year he married Helen Whitney and together they made plans to start the school the next summer. For nearly twenty years, the Egglestons poured out their energy, effort, and money in improving and maintaining the accommodations. Finally, in 1949 they deeded to the National Spiritual Assembly of the United States the school buildings and the land on which they stood. In the late 1970s, Louhelen underwent tremendous change, removing older buildings and erecting new ones. In 1983, the National Spiritual Assembly opened the buildings which currently comprise Louhelen. A new auditorium was added in 2001.

It is located at 42°59′08.66″N 83°30′34.05″W.
