The Old Nova Scotia School is a beautiful Greek Revival style school house that was built in 1853. It originally stood on the corner of Fern Hill Road and Route 6. The school closed in June of 1929 was disassembled on September 4, 1990. Its reconstruction in Munson Park on DeForest Street was a joint project of The Lions Club Old Fellows, the UNICO Club, and the Watertown History Museum, with an opening ceremony that was held on May 30, 1993. The school house is maintained by the historical society and is furnished as is would have been in the 1800s.
