The tireless efforts to restore Daniels School - A 120 year old one room school located at: 8162 Mill Creek Road in Healdsburg, California have finally come to fruition!!! The County Landmarks Commission of Sonoma County has clamied Daniels School the 186th Historic Landmark on 09/18/2001!
These photos capture the Open House Celebration Honoring Former Students!!! The majority of rebuilding, furnishing, and maintenance of the structure is finally done. Now our dream of providing educational experiences for local school children and residents alike is a reality. It was a joyous occasion with lots of food, warm company, and many happy memories were shared and made that day! The best part was meeting and mingling with the former students...hearing their nostalgic times spent at The Daniels School and honoring their presence!
