Thank you Questers!

As many of you know, Bonsall Education Foundation (BEF) acts as steward of the Bonsall Schoolhouse. The Fallbrook chapter of California Questers offered to help us with an interior improvement as part of its restoration – new curtains and sash rods! We gratefully accepted their offer.

During the premier historic period of the building from 1895-1919, curtains served one specific purpose – to block outside distractions. They were hung on the lower sash only. The upper sash had no curtains to allow in light. Curtains were often sewn by the teachers themselves and were simple in pattern and design.

The new curtains were hung earlier this month. They are historically accurate and look wonderful!

This international organization seeks to encourage the preservation and restoration of antiquities and historical sites. California chapters are found throughout the state; refer to www.calquest.org or call (760) 728-6010 to learn when local meetings are held.

BEF is thankful for Fallbrook Questers!
