History

The Greer School House(1897-1960s)

In the 60s, a small single room school house was still standing and in regular use for educating the village of Greer’s youth. It was built one year prior to this special place being formally named Greer, Arizona in 1898. For almost 70 years the same building served as a place for locals to gather to discuss civic concerns. In later years, the Forest Service used the structure for stewarding care of our national forests. This public structure was perched on a bluff at the northeast corner of the Greer Meadow near the entrance to the East Fork Road. In our existing community center, signage, benches, and a bronze bell currently serve as memorabilia of these special times in Greer.
