This log cabin was put up in a single day by a community log-raising party in the autumn of 1885. It opened as a school and social center in early 1866. The interior was nicely finished with wallpaper and wainscoting, and was well supplied with manufactured desks and blackboards. In 1907, the school was forced to close for lack of students. It was abandoned and left to deteriorate. In 1967, the roofless structure was saved from demolition, and Arizona's oldest schoolhouse was restored as a community project.

Dedicated as a Historical Monument in 1981, the school today displays many pieces that were used throughout the school's history.
