The Oldest Wooden Schoolhouse in the U.S.A
Photo ops abound at this old-fashioned schoolhouse. One of three structures in town dating from the Spanish colonial period, this cedar-and-cypress structure is held together by wooden pegs and handmade nails, its hand-wrought beams still intact. The last class was held in 1864. Today the old-time classroom is re-created using animated pupils and a teacher, complete with a dunce and below-stairs "dungeon" for unruly children, which will make your kids count their lucky stars that they weren't in school back then.
