#5 Oak Glen Schoolhouse Museum

The Schoolhouse museum offers a look at a small school house that was built in 1927. The Museum is open only on weekends. But the best thing about this place is the playground! They have an adorable apple shed inspired playground, rock climbing wall, and small trail.
