History

Fredericksburg Academy [1] was opened about 1852 by Professor B. C. Smith. He started the school in Fredericksburg with 40 students.[2]  In the 1860 US Census for Fredericksburg, Salt Creek Township, he is listed as the head of the household.  He was 28 years old, born in Ohio, and listed as a school teacher.  Residing with him were 9 students ranging from ages 17 to 23.

With the outbreak in the Civil War, the school had to close down for a period of time.  Smith reopened the school in 1863.  By 1864, the number of students had greatly increased.  Because of health reasons, he resigned as the teacher in 1866.
