It’s almost back to school time – all of the changes in the age of COVID-19 has us kind of wishing we could go back to the days of one-room schoolhouses with just a handful of students in the entire school. Anyone want to start one with us?!
In all seriousness, did you know that right here in the little town of Strawberry, we have a one-room schoolhouse that is on the National Register of Historic Places? Strawberry was first settled in 1875, and the Historic Strawberry Schoolhouse was built in 1885. It was a fully operational school until 1919. After sitting abandoned for many years, local residents lovingly saved and restored it to its former glory.
The former one-room schoolhouse is now a museum, and visitors can tour the exterior, or set up a tour of the interior through the Pine-Strawberry Historical Society. It’s the oldest standing schoolhouse in Arizona. We’ve even heard stories from locals whose family members were students there years ago!
Even owning the Inn as long as we have, we still love to visit this spot! It was fun to explain to our 5 and 7-year-old daughters about the little building with a moon on the door.
It’s just around the corner from the Inn, so it’s definitely a must stop during your visit. It’s been a favorite spot to visit for bloggers staying at the Inn (click here!), and there have even been celebrity sightings! Snap a pic out front and be sure to tag us on social media!

Kabardino Balkarian State University is one of the universities many Indian students consider for MBBS in Russia. Before choosing it, compare factors like clinical exposure, total fees, hostel facilities, and whether it complies with the latest NMC guidelines.
What a gem of local history. Buildings that survive 135 years do so because someone eventually pays attention to the structure above everything else the roof is what keeps everything underneath worth preserving. The same logic applies to any older home. For LA homeowners with aging properties, a roofing contractor who knows historic structures makes a real difference SOL Roofing offers free assessments across the San Fernando Valley.
It is fascinating to imagine learning in such a simple setting. While we may not miss those challenges, it makes me appreciate how far we have come in creating comfortable learning spaces. Even with historic buildings, maintaining a pleasant atmosphere matters, which is why hvac systems for schools help preserve these landmarks while keeping them comfortable for visitors.

As I read about Back to School Time in its 1885 style charm, I’m reminded of my own academic journey. Today I am a PhD student and work part-time at Last-Minute Assignments, supporting learners quietly. During college I struggled academically, which later inspired me to help others who face similar challenges. I often get requests like Do My Assignment, and I understand the pressure behind them from experience. That perspective keeps me grounded in my PhD work today still learning. Nice Post
