Placer County welcomed the historic Fruitvale Schoolhouse Museum with a ribbon-cutting ceremony March 1, 2022, in rural Lincoln.
The Fruitvale School, which was the eleventh of 13 one-room schoolhouses built in western Placer County, was operational until 1946. Since that time, it has operated as a community hall, museum and living history site.
The Museums Division intends to interpret the history of the Fruitvale School from 1888-1946, provide an immersive living history educational experience targeted to third-grade students, establish a rental site for group meetings and events and provide a community hall for residents.
