Strawberry Schoolhouse, Historic schoolhouse in Strawberry, Arizona.
Strawberry Schoolhouse is a single-room wooden school building in Strawberry, Arizona, constructed from pine logs. The structure features a sandstone foundation and walls made of ponderosa pine wood.
The schoolhouse was built in 1885 during Arizona's territorial period to serve the growing settlement. Operations ended in 1916 when student numbers declined, leading to its closure.
The building served the community as a gathering place for teaching, celebrations, and religious services. Residents came together here to strengthen their bonds and share important moments.
The Pine-Strawberry Archaeological and Historical Society maintains the building as a museum today. Visitors can view the interior with its original school furnishings and period materials.
The interior preserves original fixtures including double student desks, a large wall blackboard, and a pump organ from when the school operated. A Webster's dictionary among the artifacts shows what daily learning looked like.
