The Historic Athenaeum in Columbia, Tennessee is all that remains of two famous girl schools that flourished in the area from the 1830s until the Great Depression. Built in 1837, the Athenaeum served as the rectory for Columbia Athenaeum and the Columbia Female Institute and was occupied by the same family for over 130 years. Today, the preserved Athenaeum is a historic site and museum open for tours by reservation and available as a venue for your next event.
