Old Sacramento Schoolhouse Museum

This lil school is from way back in the day. Literally every time we come to old Sacramento we come in here. I think it is good for the kids to see what it was like back when. I love the lil desk and chairs they have in here. They always have a variety of stuff to see. Its always clean and theres always someone to give information on the school house history.
My granddaughter loved the lil desk chair with the chalkboard to write on. They also had a lot of Halloween items for sale for the kids. They also sale homemade items. It really has an old time, back in the day kind of feel to the atmosphere. Listening to the lil lectures they give is cool, but boring. The people that do that part of the tours have to learn to be more creative and to keep the childrens attention.
But I like to stop in here from time to time. Not a lot changes in here through the years. They do change their décor according to the holidays. I think its rather historical and it fits right in Old Sacramento. And it has the lil playground next to it with the swings for the kids. Perfect!
I think that schools have divinely changed a lot from this example. Or should I say time has changed! Great place to bring kids.

Every year for 9 years we had to submit our family tradition making a gingerbread to this Old School house. They had been doing this gingerbread competition every years and it’s for a good cause, since after the competition done usually the gingerbread house went to children hospitals.
This year they’re received more gingerbread houses according Susan (one of the lady that’s volunteer) then last year.
Goodday Sacramento will be showing live for judging the competition on 12/​09/​2014 @ 9:00 AM

Tourist spot for sure but I’ll never not enjoy a little stroll into the stores to find different knick knacks and candies. Evangelines is the place to go and always will be!

Such a cute schoolhouse! I recommend stopping in, especially if you appreciate our history. Small but filled with fun info.

This is a wonderful little museum full of lots of fun. You can easily picture what school must have been like in the 1840’s. The desks and little readers sitting on them looked as though it was ready for the kids to arrive. There were wonderful items to look through and I especially liked the trivia written on the chalkboards. It looked as though the teacher had gotten her boards all ready for her students. It is adorable with a small playground right outside which the kids could have gone to. Then you look over and see the old wooden sidewalks and the candy store across the street. Really great museum. It is a MUST SEE.

This place is great. I felt taken back in time and all the enjoyment from watching Little House. The people there hosting are so informative. Great place to stop by, by some handmade fun items and maybe ring that old schoolhouse bell. Enjoy!

Great reproduction of an 1849 school house. On the day of our visit our guide gave about a 40 minute lecture on the history of schooling during the time (this was quite boring). I would have rather been able to tour the school house on my own and have read about its history in a brochure or pamphlet. I went with a large group so maybe having 40 people all over this 800 sq. foot room would not be good.

Kind of neat little historical school house. Has some fun historical information inside if you’re into that kind of thing.

I think those who gave this little Schoolhouse Museum a less than ok review, need to go back to school.
First of all this is a adorable little schoolhouse with a playground in Old Town. The doors were open so I peeked in. I was welcomed by a «Teacher’s Aide» to join in on the lesson. The Head Master was giving a history lesson about education in the 1800’s.
The Antique desks and the large furnace in the middle of the room were classic antiques. It’s a free museum and donation based, so I bought a couple posters of Teacher’s Rules of Conduct. (Such as no marriage, smoking, drinking and several others) My mom is a teacher and I thought it was a cute, yet funny Valentine’s present for her.
I thought the place was very interesting. There is so much to see in Old Town and here is a little bit of history offered for free. Enjoy!

If you are in the area check it out for fun. It’s just a simple replica museum. Nothing too exciting.

Second stop on Sacramento Museum Day 2÷6÷10. It’s in Old Sacramento, parking can be tough here, we found a metered spot. We stayed about 20 min.
It’s just a replica of an 1800’s one-​room schoolhouse. They had volunteered dressed up and gave us cake & punch. One of the volunteers said the first school was on Feb 20^th and they celebrate that.
A swing set for 2 people is outside.
Worth going if in the area, not worth a special trip.
