Elgin Schoolhouse State Historic Site
Elgin Schoolhouse State Historic Site, State historic site in Lincoln County, Nevada.
The Elgin Schoolhouse consists of a one-room building with an additional apartment section constructed for teachers in rural Nevada.
The schoolhouse operated from 1922 to 1967, serving local ranch families after James Bradshaw donated seven acres of his land for education.
Students from grades one through eight learned together in this single classroom, representing the traditional rural education model of early Nevada.
Visitors can explore the schoolhouse on weekends during April, May, September, and October, with half of the original furnishings still present.
The school frequently needed new teachers because many young female educators ended up marrying local ranchers' sons and leaving their teaching positions.
