Midway School Museum Project

The city gave us permission to move the last Livermore Valley one-room schoolhouse, Midway School, from the Altamont Hills to Hagemann Park next to the 150-year-old historic Hagemann Ranch. This creates a destination for immersive elementary school field trips and a public museum. The ranch and school are almost the same age, making joint events historically consistent.

Click bricks to pave a (literal) path to Schoolhouse Museun
Bricks
These bricks help pay for architectural drawings (delivered to city in January 2025), city permits, preparing property, undergrounding electrical, and construction of a foundation.
Bricks are $350, $500, $750, and $1200.

Of course, the Schoolhouse Museum itself needs MAJOR DONORS to move the building soon, a new front porch, frame repairs, waterproof roofing, fresh window frames, ADA ramp, and interior restoration.
