The Douglas Flat Schoolhouse is the oldest surviving schoolhouse in
Calaveras County. Built in either 1854 or 1856, depending on which
history you read, the old school building stands today much in the same
condition as it did back in the Gold Rush. The schoolhouse has served
the neighboring community in a number of ways: church, Sunday school,
kindergarten classroom, and school office. And it still functions as a
meeting place for community activities. The rear portion of the
building was added at some later date, and the building may have been
moved to this spot from a location closer to Coyote Creek.
