Goffs Schoolhouse, School building in San Bernardino County, United States

Goffs Schoolhouse is a one-room Mission Revival school building at 37198 Lanfair Road in Goffs, California, designed by architect Anthony Beimer and opened in 1914. Its single classroom served children of miners and railroad workers from a 1,000-square-mile area. The Mojave Desert Heritage and Cultural Association now runs it as a museum and cultural center.

The schoolhouse opened in 1914 to serve students across a scattered mining settlement until the school district merged with Needles in 1937. This merger marked the end of its role as an active educational facility in the region.

Goffs residents used the schoolhouse as a community center, and it held a branch of the San Bernardino County Library. Many pupils came from Mexican immigrant families, and bilingual students often assisted the teacher by translating for classmates. The building now serves as a museum and cultural center run by the Mojave Desert Heritage and Cultural Association.

The site is located on Lanfair Road and can be visited as a museum under the stewardship of the Mojave Desert Heritage and Cultural Association. Visitors should prepare for the remote desert location, with minimal facilities and significant distance from larger towns.

During World War II, the building served as a canteen for the Desert Training Center, the largest Army training facility in America at that time. This wartime conversion linked the schoolhouse to a major military chapter in the region's past.
