A significant, long-term project of BEF is the restoration of the original Bonsall Schoolhouse, which dates back to August 1895. BEF acts as the steward of the Bonsall Schoolhouse and is also charged with its complete restoration.

The support of the Bonsall Woman's Club has been vital to the restoration; they serve as the primary patron and want to honor Bonsall history.  Donations of important vintage pieces from Questers International, Fallbrook Chapter, has helped make the schoolhouse come alive. 

"This multi-year restoration project has been possible because we have partnered with some exceptional local organizations," says Jen Leung, director of the Schoolhouse Restoration Project. "We want the schoolhouse to be used by the community once again, as a meeting place, a special events venue and most importantly as a museum/outdoor classroom where students can learn about California history."
