The Academy of Richmond County, Georgia, now cele-
brating its 150th anniversary. The original building was on
the river bank and it was that building George Washington
visited when he was in Augusta. This building was erected
in 1803 and was used continuously until 1927 when a new
and larger building in the upper part of the city was con-
structed. The Academy of Richmond County is the oldest
institution for the higher education of boys that has been in
continuous existence under the same name and in the same
place in the United States. It is erected upon crown lands
confiscated after the Revolutionary War.
