— The Oldest Incorporated School in Orleans County —
On this site the Derby Literary and Theological Institute - a private boarding school - was founded by the Danville Baptist Association on one acre of land given by Lemuel Richmond and Benjamin Hinman. Colonel Chester Carpenter led a campaign for support as citizens readily came forth with money, labor, and their produce to build a secondary school. Donated cattle were driven to a Brighton, Massachusetts market to help raise funds.| HM Number | HM1FHO |
