Yolo County Historical Society is raising funds for the School House Transportation Fund and the YCHS General Fund.
School House Transportation Fund
The Spring Lake Schoolhouse Museum is a Yolo County historical resource owned and operated by the Yolo County Historical Society. It is located on the Yolo County Fairgrounds and is available for visits from school groups (free of charge). During the fall and spring, the schoolhouse hosts third-grade classes throughout the county for a living history experience. It is also open during the Yolo County Fair every year from Wednesday evening through Saturday. Donations to the School House Transportation Fund will help cover the transportation costs so that more children will have the opportunity to visit Spring Lake Schoolhouse.
YCHS General Fund
The Spring Lake School House and the Yolo County Fair Museum add a comprehensive historical as well as agricultural focus for the people of Yolo County. Our goal is to help future generations understand their heritage by building a legacy for the future by preserving our past. Yolo County Historical Society covers the maintenance and improvement costs for these two buildings. Donations to the YCHS General Fund will go towards these expenses.
Yolo County Historical Society strives to preserve, protect, and acknowledge the diverse history of the county through education, communication, and advocacy. It is a county-wide organization researching and preserving historical resources from Rumsey to Clarksburg, from the Sacramento River to Monticello Dam, including the pastoral Dunnigan Hills and the cities of Davis, West Sacramento, Winters and Woodland.
