One-room schoolhouses...

Rural schoolhouses can be found all over the central coast, a lesson in recent history. Many date back to the late 1800s when grade school became compulsory; some still operating until the early 1960s, closing their doors to paved roads and bus routes...

...now part of a skatepark in Los Osos

Pacific School (1881-1950)
...with Hearst Castle on the hill in the distance

Santa Rosa School (1881-?)
...now an art gallery & studio in Cambria

Santa Maneula Schoolhouse (1901-1957)
...now a heritage museum in Arroyo Grande
