About Elgin Schoolhouse State Historic Site
A one-room schoolhouse sits at the center of Elgin, a ghost town, preserved as the focus of this property. The building served students from 1922 to 1967 and stands as the reason the site was set aside for protection. The surrounding town gives context to the schoolhouse's history as a fixture of a once-active rural community.
Hours, fees, camping, reservations and closures are set by the park and change often. Check the official park site before you go.
