Occupying five acres extending north and westward, this school was founded in 1817. First principal was Dr. Daniel Berry, of Salem, Mass. It suspended in 1862, Federal troops occupying the buildings. Reopening a short distance southward as Lanier Female Academy, it later returned to its own site. It closed finally in 1878.
