Harpeth Academy

1.4 miles west, and north of this road, this boys’ school commenced operations in 1811 under Rev. Gideon Blackburn, noted Presbyterian missionary. James Hervey Otey, later first Episcopal bishop of Tennessee, succeeded him in 1821. In 1825, the school moved into Franklin, closing in 1863 when federal troops destroyed buildings.
