Dedicated to Preserving Fiddletown’s Rich Heritage
The Fiddletown Preservation Society works to preserve and share the cultural and historical legacy of Fiddletown. It continues to maintain, preserve and restore the 1862 Fiddletown Schoolhouse and the three public buildings owned by Amador County: The Chew Kee Store, the Chinese Gambling House and the Chinese General Store.
The FPS formed in 1964 to save the historic Fiddletown Schoolhouse from sale or demolition.
In 1965, FPS was incorporated as a nonprofit 501(c)(3). It became the sole owner of the Fiddletown Schoolhouse and has since worked to maintain and preserve the building for community use. Many improvements have been made over the years. Please click below to learn more!
