Ivy Lodge is unique in the educational annals of Warren County, having been either a school or the home of school officials for most of its existence. The Misses Tensia and Annette Tyler, relatives of President Tyler, moved to Front Royal in antebellum days. They lived at Ivy Lodge where Tensia opened a “most select little day school for small girls” who were taught not only academics, but also “to speak very low and be very delicate in their ways.” At the same time Miss N. Fellows, a splendid teacher at the Front Royal Academy, gave private art lessons to older girls at Ivy Lodge and instructed them in manners and calesthentics. They were taught how to greet guests in the parlor, to draw up chairs for them, and to introduce people.
