| Description |
A group of pioneers from Tennessee, Mississippi, Arkansas, and Louisiana
founded the Science Hill community in 1846. Residents established
cotton gins, sawmills and mercantile businesses. In 1858 the Science
Hill Academy was the first school of higher education in Henderson
County. During the years of the Civil War, families began to move
away and by 1878, the town had become a ghost town.
Marker located at RR 3273, ROW, 3.5 miles SE of Cross Roads, off
