Capitol Reef Ntl Park - Fruita Schoolhouse (4), originally uploaded by kimberzy.

Fruita was founded in 1880 by Mormons under the name "Junction." Later on in around 1902, it became known as Fruita. It was once dubbed "the Eden of Wayne County" due to its large fruit orchards.

In 1896, this one-room schoolhouse was built. It was also used for religious services and dances. It was restored by the National Park Service in 1966.
