Strawberry Schoolhouse
Strawberry Schoolhouse, Historic schoolhouse in Strawberry, Arizona.
The single-room pine log structure measures 30 feet by 20 feet, featuring a sandstone foundation and ponderosa pine walls near State Route 87.
Built in 1885 during Arizona's territorial period, the schoolhouse operated until 1916 when student enrollment decreased, leading to its closure.
The building served multiple functions for the community, operating as an educational facility, dance hall, church, and meeting house throughout its active years.
The Pine-Strawberry Archaeological and Historical Society maintains the structure as a museum, displaying original furnishings and educational materials from the 1800s.
The schoolhouse interior contains factory-made double desks, a large blackboard, Webster's dictionary, and a pump organ from its operational period.

Arizona contains geological formations spanning millions of years alongside evidence of Spanish colonial settlement and prehistoric cultures. The landscape includes sandstone canyons such as Antelope Canyon X and Canyon de Chelly National Monument, extensive desert areas with saguaro and organ pipe cacti, and volcanic remnants at Sunset Crater. Historical sites include Spanish missions like Tumacácori, pueblo ruins at Montezuma Castle, and mining towns such as Bisbee and Jerome. The state holds significant paleontological sites at Petrified Forest National Park, where fossilized tree trunks from the Triassic period lie exposed, and cave systems like Kartchner Caverns with active speleothem formations. The Vermilion Cliffs region displays layered sandstone formations including The Wave, while the Chiricahua Mountains show volcanic rock pinnacles formed from welded ash. Waterfalls such as Havasu Falls and Grand Falls result from geological faulting and seasonal water flow. Archaeological sites document occupation by the Hohokam, Sinagua, and Ancestral Puebloans between 300 and 1400 CE. Tonto Natural Bridge forms one of the largest travertine bridges in North America, while Besh-Ba-Gowah shows Salado culture construction methods from the 13th century. The territory spans from the Sonoran Desert in the south to the Colorado Plateau in the north, creating distinct climate zones and ecosystems within a compact area.
