The Little Outfit Schoolhouse
The Little Outfit Schoolhouse, Ranch school building in Patagonia, United States.
The Little Outfit Schoolhouse stands on the Little Outfit Ranch in San Rafael Valley, approximately ten miles east-southeast of Patagonia within Santa Cruz County, Arizona.
Constructed in 1940 by Buel and Katharine Hutchinson, this educational facility served as both a coeducational institution and later an all-boys school for grades three through eight.
The school incorporated traditional academic education with ranch activities, reflecting the educational philosophy of western states during the mid-twentieth century.
The schoolhouse, managed by the Little Outfit Preservation Group, remains accessible for visitors interested in exploring the educational heritage of rural Arizona.
Located at an elevation of 5,100 feet, the school operated with 20 to 25 students, featuring the nearest telephone ten miles away during its operational years.
