- Hold your next meeting at the Schoolhouse
- Gather relatives at the Schoolhouse for your next reunion
- Host a spelling bee at the Schoolhouse
- Plan a lunch-box social or bake sale at the Schoolhouse
- Display your art at the Schoolhouse
- Get married in the Schoolhouse
The Old Sacramento Schoolhouse Museum is a replica of one-room schools found throughout the Sacramento Valley and Sierra Nevada foothills during the latter half of the 19th century. It is ideally located on the Sacramento River, near Interstate 5, with ample public parking across the street to accommodate a family, youth group or club planning a special event. The Schoolhouse can seat up to 50 people and has a fenced yard for outdoor events. Hold your next event in the midst of Sacramento’s historic Old Sacramento area!
