An Original
American Treasure
The Oldest Wooden School House Historic Museum & Gardens welcomes visitors to the unique Minorcan homestead of Juan Genopoly, established in the late 1700’s. Preservation, conservation, interpretation, and education are the cornerstones of this rich historic treasure.
The Attraction
The Old School offers the opportunity for people of all ages to see an ORIGINAL American Treasure. The Genopoly House has been preserved to reflect the homestead life of the Minorcan Settlers as well as school life in the 1800s. We are proud to provide recreational and educational entertainment for visiting families and students. The self-guided experience begins as the Professor comes to life and welcomes you! All visitors receive a diploma after exploring the Old School, kitchen and gardens! Tour reservations are encouraged for groups of 10 or more.
The Department of the Interior in Washington, DC certified that the historic building known as “Old School House” was selected by the Advisory Committee of the Historic American Buildings Survey as possessing exceptional historic or architectural interest and as being worthy of most careful preservation for the benefit of future generations. To this end, a record of appearance and condition was made and deposited for permanent reference in the Library of Congress. We await your visit so you too can experience our history!
