Green River Female Academy, Historical education museum in Elkton, Kentucky.
The three-story brick building features classical elements of Federal and Greek Revival styles, with limestone lintels and circular bosses on the facade.
Founded in 1835, the academy provided formal education for girls and later became a symbol of educational advancement in Todd County, Kentucky.
The institution's curriculum included advanced subjects such as philosophy, languages, algebra, geography, and astronomy, setting high standards for female education.
Located at 204 Goebel Avenue in Elkton, the museum displays artifacts and information about 19th-century educational practices in Kentucky.
