Welcome

Welcome to the Fruitvale School and Community Hall located about 3 miles northeast of rural Lincoln, Placer County, California.

This historic schoolhouse was one of original 13 country schools spread throughout Western Placer County to serve the school-aged children of farm families from the late 1800s thru the 1940s. Today, the building and grounds serve a larger community with its very popular third-grade Living History Program, Placer Farm & Barn Festival, the Outdoor Melodrama and as a venue for other educational and agricultural programs, community meetings and special family events.

Fruitvale Hall was recently recognized by Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger as a recipient of the Governor's Historic Preservation Award. This prestigious award is granted to organizations that "demonstrate outstanding committment to excellence in historic preservation."
