National and State Register
Missouri Heights School
Garfield County
Constructed in 1917, the school remained in operation into the 1956 school year. The facility also served as a community center. Located in a still rural setting, the collection of simple wood frame buildings survives as a rare multi-component reminder of rural school education.
In addition to the schoolhouse, a teacherage, coal shed, and two outhouses are on the site. Since 1963, the property has been owned by the Missouri Heights Community League, a non-profit group of area ranchers and residents. Listed under Rural School Buildings in Colorado Multiple Property Submission.
