Why is this project important?

The Schoolhouse project protects, promotes, and enhances the unique cultural, historical, natural resource, and agricultural values of the Clarksburg Region and the Greater Sacramento Delta. The 1883 Schoolhouse is an iconic symbol of the dedication of our early leaders to education and improving the Clarksburg community. The Schoolhouse is Clarksburg’s virtual and interactive scrapbook that will capture, organize and share the history of our community. It is also an important gathering place for meetings and community events
