Geocache Description:


Middlebury Academy in Wyoming was erected in 1817 for the total cost of $4,000 by Silas Newell. This was the first institution of higher learning beyond grammer school in Western New York.  The academy was a private school until 1884.  It averaged 150 students per year including 7 that went on to become presidents of US colleges.  After 1884, it became one of Middlebury Union Schools unitl 1912.  Since 1948, it has been a museum for the  Middlebury Historical Society.  This is the oldest public building in Wyoming County.  My great grandmother graduated for this school in 1912, and became a teacher.  Permission granted by Doug Norton of the Middlebury Historical Society to place this cache.  Please no night caching.
