Abandoned in 1969, this 3-classroom schoolhouse housed grades 1-8 for the Shop Springs (later renamed Watertown) area for 33 years. This building was rebuilt in 1936, after the original school burnt down in 1935. The original school was built in 1918 or 1919. The school was originally a high school, and at one point a boarding school. The school football team one year participated in a state championship. One local legend says that the school was closed down after a serial murderer killed and raped a little girl inside this school and she haunts the place. Another legend says that the school was closed after spirits were attacking the children. Supposedly there is a Cold-War-era bunker on the property somewhere
