Old Stone ~ Oak Glen Schoolhouse

The Old Stone


Oak Glen Schoolhouse


you step back into the past. - - 1927 to be exact - - when Calvin Coolidge was the 30th president of the United States and that legendary American, Henry Ford, had just built his first Model A automobile. It was also during this time that the apple growers of this community decided their children needed a permanent school to attend close to home.






Oak Glen ~

Oak Glen

is a living history interpretation of the American Revolution, Civil War, Gold Rush Era, and the pioneering history of Old Oak Glen itself. Nearly 70,000 guests visit the farm every year to experience the sights and sounds of America's past.
The grounds and buildings constitute interpretations of early American architecture and include a post and bean "public house," a bakery, cider barn, colonial public house restaurant, and summer kitchen.
