The Watson's Grocery is located in State Center, Iowa.

It was listed as a contributing property on the State Center Commercial Historic District in 1998.

The building and interior would remain nearly unchanged throughout its years of operation.

In 1981, Florence Watson closed the store, locking the doors and leaving everything as it was.

On October 19, 1989, the community of State Center reopened Watson's Grocery Store as an early Twentieth Century grocery store museum.
