The North Columbia Schoolhouse Cultural Center gives the rural San Juan Ridge community a local place to meet, to share its creativity, and to participate in a wide variety of enriching activities. Located 20 miles north of Nevada City, the Schoolhouse was built by the mining community in 1875, and has a long tradition of serving the community as a school and public meeting hall. The mission of the North Columbia Schoolhouse is to inspire and educate their community by providing a venue for gatherings, performance, art, and education that enriches and sustains North Columbia’s rural character and traditions.
