About the Schoolhouse Museum
In 1856 early Dublin settlers built the original Murray School on Flanagan Lane, however, it soon became apparent that the boggy ground was subject to flooding. Soon with horse and oxen the settlers moved the schoolhouse to Dublin Canyon Road. Here the schoolhouse resided for over one hundred years; it's walls reverberating with the laughter of children. Eventually the growing community outgrew the one-room schoolhouse and built new schools. With the widening of I-580, community growth in the 1970's threatened the old schoolhouse; the old building stood in the way. The building was again on the move; this time moved by modern house movers. The Schoolhouse now has a permanent home on the Dublin Heritage Center grounds.
Follow the dramatic journey of Dublin settlers - three Irish teenagers who crossed the Atlantic in 1833, trail blazed to California in 1836, built homesteads in Diublin in 1850 and built the Murray Schoolhouse in 1856. The museum allows you to follow their journey and Dublin's story, past and present.
