Additional Location Information:

Centered around the beautifully preserved Old Schoolhouse, the campus blends small-town heritage with open green space, mature trees, and sweeping valley views. Ample parking on site.

The grounds feel both intimate and spacious — a natural gathering place where families can spread out on the lawn, musicians can play under the trees, and neighbors can linger as the sun sets over the hills. With its classic architecture and gold-rush era character, the campus carries the spirit of Jacksonville’s history while providing a welcoming, walkable setting just steps from downtown shops and restaurants.
