The Felton schoolhouse was built in 1885 to accommodate more than 100 families living in Pico Canyon, educating children up to the eighth grade. The school was named for Pacific Coast Oil president Charles N. Felton, who later became a U.S. Senator. Its interior featured wood school desks, a library, a pot-bellied stove, and interior lighting, as Mentryville was one of the first villages to have fixtures powered by natural gas. The school operated until 1932.
