  
WELCOME. The Douglass Flat Community Center has been continuously welcoming generations since the Gold Rush.
Located in Douglas Flat California (near Murphys and Angel's Camp.)
Built in 1854, it is the oldest school house in Calaveras County.
It served as a school for over a century. Since the beginning it has also served as a community meeting place hosting events from
church services, weddings, art classes, plays, cub scouts and square dances.
OUR MISSION is to keep the 170-year-old building's doors open well into the future. Major structural improvements are necessary. And other renovations are planned to restore the building to its original appearance. Also landscaping improvements would make the building more desirable for rentals, such as weddings, art classes and wine tasting events.
The building is the ideal backdrop for photos! Duh.
