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.

With the unwavering financial support of the Bonsall Woman's Club and donations of important vintage pieces from Questers International, Fallbrook Chapter, the restoration of the building will be complete in 2025.

"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."
