Ripon, a city known for its rich historical heritage, finds itself embroiled in a contentious situation as the recent relocation of the iconic little white schoolhouse has raised serious legal concerns. In a shocking revelation, it has come to light through an open records request that the process followed by the City of Ripon and its Historic Preservation Board for formally moving the historic landmark was not in accordance with the established ordinance.
Members of the community, preservation activists, and local historians have expressed their disappointment and concern over the lack of transparency and adherence to established protocols. The preservation of Ripon’s historic landmarks is crucial to maintaining the city’s unique identity and attracting tourists.
