Rapson was home to a one-room school house for 96 years. Officially known as Bloomfield Township District No. 7 Frl., students could attend from kindergarten through 8th grade. In its heyday, Rapson School had as many as 50 students. It closed in 2008 when enrollment dropped to just one student.[3]
St. Joseph's Catholic Church is the only church located in Rapson. The priest that lives here also serves mass at Most Holy Trinity Catholic Church located 7 miles to the south.
While Rapson was once home to 'The Grainery' bar, the building is presently the home of the Bad Axe Moose Lodge #2358.
Rapson is served by a daily newspaper, the Huron Daily Tribune, and two commercial radio stations owned by Thumb Broadcasting, WLEW-AM/FM. WLEW-AM 1340 plays country music, and WLEW-FM, known as "Cruise 102.1," features an adult hits/classic hits format.
