The Old School:
A tribute to
Education
1908-2007
As Jacksonville’s miners
moved on in search of
new gold fields, German
immigrants discovered the
fertile soil of the Rogue Valley. They established the family farms that
surrounded the Old School House. German immigration brought stability
to Jacksonville, establishing banks and mercantile.
The restaurant location was once the home of the Old School's cafeteria,
and today our décor is a tribute to 100 years of education and also to the
German immigrants who settled in Jacksonville. Historic photographs,
textbooks, and scenes of Bavaria grace our walls, honoring both
Jacksonville’s German heritage and the Old School House legacy.
Beer was an important ingredient in Jacksonville’s early life. Hops and
barley arrived by rail, and unpopular Jacksonville brewers made mighty
fine beverages. Prohibition and two European wars dampened the spirits
of the early Germanic settlers, but today, Good times are here again!

German Cuisine
All good German meals begin with a cold German
beer, a toast of thanksgiving, children's laughter
and good times spent with friends and family.
We have gathered together a collection of recipes
that appear at family dinners throughout Germany.
Some are from our own histories, others from
Frau Kemmling's German training under award
winning Chef Dieter Platte from Zum Wildschutz
in Germany. Today, we continue to add to the
collection. All are characteristically German fare.
On behalf of the entire Schoolhaus team we
thank you for coming to dine with us.
Prost!
