Long Description:
The Middlebury Academy was built in 1817 and was the first high school in the Holland Purchase. The Academy offered co-educational and non-denominational classical studies to the youth of Western New York until 1912. The Academy is now a museum that is owned and operated by the Middlebury Historical Society. The museum is open on Sundays from 2-5pm.
The Academy is also listed on the National Register of Historic Places due to its valued importance as an educational, cultural and historical establishment during the early to mid 1800's.
