Although it closed in 1952, friends of the brown-brick District No. 8 School have restored it to become one of the grandest little one-room schoolhouses in the state. Next to it No. 8 Cemetery contains an unusual memorial on the southeast side near the road—a small sculpture of an elephant in ornamental saddle and headdress. It bears no identification other than a U.S. Vietnam Veterans medallion placed near the elephant's feet.
