The Fruitvale Schoolhouse Museum continues to sit in a beautiful natural setting in the countryside near Lincoln. It is open to visitors on the second Sunday of each month from 12 p.m. to 4 p.m. and admission is free. Event info Info from event site: On Jan. 14, 1889, the first group of students entered the newly built Fruitvale schoolhouse The school was built in a farming region near Lincoln and grew out of a need for children in the surrounding districts who could not reach their assigned schools when seasonal flooding in area ravines halted travel. Students included siblings from several families and they attended lessons at the one-room school from first through eighth grades. In 1893, 23 students were enrolled in the school and by 1902, this had grown to 39 and it was the largest school population in the area. It closed in 1946, and has become the eighth museum managed by the Placer County Museums Division. + Add to Google Calendar + Add to Apple Calendar ADVERTISEMENTS
