Description

The driving force behind the school was Almira Hart Lincoln Phelps (1793-1884), a scientist, educator, author, and editor. She designed the school to enable young women to be trained well enough to support themselves through teaching. The school opened on January 1, 1837 and remained in operation until 1891.
