Fruita Schoolhouse — Attraction in Teasdale

The Old Fruita schoolhouse is a U.S. registered historical site along Highway 24 in the Fruita Valley of Capital Reef National Park.

This is one-room building was constructed in 1896 and served as the community school until 1941. Today it remains in its original location and is available to be viewed from the outside by visitors to Capital Reef.

There is a small carpark and information sign highlighting the history of the historic Fruita schoolhouse during its period of use. You can easily read the panel and view the historical building in 3-5 minutes, making this convenient stop for those driving through Capital Reef.

Note: This schoolhouse is not far from the Fremont Petroglyphs stop. Further, for those who enjoy seeing historic buildings, you may also want to include a stop at the historic Behunin Cabin further east...

Right by the roadside, very little effort required to reach. Very well maintained. Parking lot is small, although I've never seen a crowed in any part of Fruita.

Sure there's a lot of history to the building, but if you're reading this on Google Maps, you're not here for the history. Definitely some cool photo opportunities. The average traveller will find it underwhelming. Couple bench desks, slates, ink bottles and a heater in a tiny log cabin. Nice location, right next to the NPS...

Schoolhouse of old town named Fruita in Utah. Just by the side of the road, prior to getting to the entrance of the Capitol Reef national park. You can stop there and spot and old school still as if it jas to be class at the next day. Small school surrounded by the river and all the stones. You cab see deers just by the school, as it is a protected area. Enjoyable place...
