- Aerial Drone: Abandoned School Grounds
Going to release the first of the photos and footage I took with my APV Quad (Drone). I posted a sneak peak of some of these photos a month or so ago. Here are the rest of them. This abandoned school was an area I explored many times in 2013. Locals to the area will easily know what the school is. This campus was built in 1903 and closed in 2001. The school was for juvenile deliquents. Started as an all girls school than turned coed in the 70s. Closure was due to money issues and the school failing to find a new owner. The closure was a drop and run type of closure so everything was left behind. This campus is over 200 acres with many cottages (dorms), a church, gym, various school buildings, admin building, and super house. Today it is in jeopardy. Since its closure and lack of security after 2010, the school went through a lot of theft, vandalism, and neglect. Two buildings were burned to the ground as well. Security is back after all of this but it is much too late. I have had at least a dozen past students message me telling me a mix of good and bad things they experience. Some say they had a great experience and the school helped them get back on track in life. Others said the school had issues with students having relations with each other, females getting pregnant, some sexual abuse issues with students, and excessive drug use. Some said the school could not get a handle on the situation. More of the good I heard about the school was from students who attended before the 80s. More of the bad were from students who attended after the 90s. The property has been for sale for a long time until Aahome developer known as the Toll Brothers was interested in it. Their plan was to tear down everything and build 150+ homes. However a resident, Mike S, who attends the township meetings told me recently that the Toll Brothers have backed out of the plan and now the land is still up for sale. A lot of people wish to see the entire campus get turned into a historical landmark but the cost would be extremely high to get this place back in shape. You are talking about clean out of asbestos, building repairs, maintance, a lot of TLC is needed. The hope of this school is not good and unless someone is ready to drop 50 to 100 million dollars into it, time will tell how much longer it last. Thanks for reading and as always, like, comment, please share with your friends. Video to follow! Enjoy.

WOW, Great job Steve. My favorite shot was the top of the water tower,then right after that i saw three people running around a building @ 4:35. Thanks for the adventure.
jim ogle Thanks Jim, Yes i spotted them also. Just some explorers
Awesome work, Steve! Very professionally done all around.
***** Thanks Tiki! Really means a lot
Nice work dude, love the drone footage.
I really like the idea of this in winter without the leaves it gives you a much better "birds eye" of everything Very steady footage as well as impressive stills and great sound track Awesome job Steve!
AbandonedSC Thanks Jason. I can agree on it being winter plus the snow makes it easier for the buildings to stand out. The camera is on a 3d gimbal which helps keep it stable.
***** Thank You Nancy
Gorgeous video ,Steve ! My congratulations and the viewer can see in different angles up ,down and in the front too !!
sergio peres Thank You Sergio
Wow! Steve, you've done an outstanding job. What a mix of aerial and land-based images and clips from previous videos. Seeing things from that high up gives an increased understanding of the place being featured; you give us an expanded perspective both literally and figuratively. Too I'm hoping that at least some of the buildings still standing on this campus can be saved and put to some good use.
Andrew Brendan thanks andrew!
Nice shots fantastic
IKS Production (Real History) Thank You
Steve, thank you for capturing this old abandoned school on film. When it's tore down and gone....this will be a treaure.
Thanks so much. Exactly why I do this
Nice work, Steve. It never ceases to amaze me the buildings left to rot in this country.
StivNagen I agree. Thanks for watching
Awesome work as always Steve I really enjoyed the birds eye view mixed in with the still shots keep the vids coming looking forward to more from the drone...peace out

Richard Wirt Thank You Richard
Another great video ☺. You have some great places to explore over in states 😉.
mowzer75np Thank You!
Steve, you definitely have an artistic eye. I would be interested in buying some of your still photos.
That place looks haunted. Probably by the ghosts of mean teachers that just won't go away.
Great video, very relaxing!
***** Thank You. Yes it is
Damn boy, you could do a few months worth of videos going into all of those buildings. The older I get, the more I love toys, I've got to get one of those drones!
***** Yea i have been in a lot of those buildings before they boarded all them up
This is one of my favorite's of your explorations I have seen so far. The music enhances the mysterious feel of this location. I may have missed the info somewhere, but, where is this place ?
This video just grabs you by the eyeballs and you can't look away, wow.
mcrd2001 haha well I am glad it did. I want all my videos to do that
Well done!
Good video!!!
A Joyna Thank You
D and
wow you are a real pro .. you are taking this exploration into a new stage.. well done..btw. when are you going land and do the exploration.. ? just a thought.. thanks
asankaw1 Thank You. I did a lot of exploring here and all the videos on on my channel. Look back to Feb - April 2013
Sad to see it abandoned and just empty
Jessica McCue I agree. it been left alone for so long.
***** thanks so much. Couldn't respond to your comment so I had to tag you in this reply. The drone is a lot of fun. Easier to get into certain areas.
is it the name of the school
These places are going quick Steve!!! They probably tried to assess the structures for saving. If I remember correctly from your other vid from inside some of these places, they had very poor contractors go through for their last upgrade. I noticed horrible repointing on one structure in this vid and all the chimneys seem capped. Rising damp must have almost about killed these places inside. On the bright side maybe some of the paint on the glass doors in the kitchen in that one dorm might have fully peeled off lol
alibabafurball you could be correct. The school was running out of money and obviously paid for the cheapest services
AMAZING production value....super impressive. I'm just starting out in the drone world, I picked up a blade chroma 4k, I have a few vids on my page, but nothing like this!! What video software are you using?
+Chad Aaronson Thanks so much Chad
Hello Steve thank you for this wonderful discovery that does not seem unknown to me ... I can not explain it but I would like some information on this site.
What is the name of the school name that was built in 1903 and if you have the name of the owner at the time ... it would be really appreciated.
Looking forward to watching you again .... you have a new subscriber;)
Marianne Facultatif Thank You and welcome to the Channel.

wann derer plan to. Thank You
Awesome, Amazing. You hit the jackpot, the land, buildings, Wow.. Saw '1st of photos & footage'; does this mean future up close, & inside??
Wish I was a millionare, not at the bottom, & invest here..
ndog2005 Thank You. Take a look at my channel under Sleighton. I have a lot of exploring videos of this place.
Steve is this music from a film score? If not, I would really like to know who the composer is and what album it's from.
TheOldTomster This music is royalty free done by a independent artist. His name is Kevin Macleod. I always give the name of the songs at the end of the video
U have a drone Steve flying over :--O
Skrivenix yes i do
Such a terrible waste of land and dwellings.
i agree
