The Goffs Schoolhouse is a historic building located in the Southern Mojave watershed of California. The schoolhouse was built in 1914 and served as a school for the children of the mining community in the area. It was in use until 1937 when the mining industry declined, and the population of the area decreased. The building was then used as a community center and a polling place until it was abandoned in the 1950s. The schoolhouse was eventually restored and designated as a California Historical Landmark in 1996. Today, the schoolhouse is open to the public and offers tours of the building and the surrounding area.
Visiting the Goffs Schoolhouse is a unique experience that offers a glimpse into the history of the Southern Mojave watershed. The building has been restored to its original condition, and visitors can see the desks, chalkboards, and other artifacts that were used in the school. The surrounding area also offers a variety of outdoor activities such as hiking, bird watching, and stargazing. The Mojave Desert is home to a diverse range of flora and fauna, and visitors may see desert tortoises, bighorn sheep, and other wildlife. The Goffs Schoolhouse is a must-visit destination for anyone interested in history, nature, and the unique culture of the Southern Mojave watershed.
