Morristown College, Historical African American college campus in Morristown, United States.
The 52-acre educational complex features Colonial Revival architecture buildings surrounded by residential neighborhoods in eastern Tennessee.
The Freedman's Aid Society of the Methodist Episcopal Church established this institution in 1881 to provide education for African American students.
The college trained ministers and educators while offering practical skills education in trades such as iron work and carpentry for both male and female students.
Seven of the nine original campus buildings received recognition on the National Register of Historic Places before the institution closed in 1994.
Students at the college manufactured bricks in their own kilns, which were then used to construct several buildings across the campus grounds.
