Fairfield District School

The Fairfield District School is a historic schoolhouse in Fairfield, Utah, United States, that is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is part of the Camp Floyd State Park Museum.

Description

The school is located at 59 North Church Street and was built in 1898 by Andrew Fjeld, a local builder. It includes Late Victorian, Eclectic, other architectural styles.
In 1939, the school was closed and elementary-age children living in Fairfield began to be bused to nearby Cedar Fort for classes. The school building was turned over to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the 1950s. By the mid 1970s, the LDS Church planned to demolish the building. To preserve the structure, Walter Kershaw purchased it and donated it to the Utah State Division of Parks and Recreation in 1977.
It was listed on the NRHP in August 6, 1987.
After nearly a decade of work, the restored building was opened to the public in April 2005 and is used as educational space by the state park.
