Elizabeth Female Academy, School building ruins in Adams County, United States.

The Elizabeth Female Academy contains brick walls positioned along the Natchez Trace Parkway, featuring architectural elements from the early 1800s Mississippi period.

Founded in 1818 as Mississippi's first chartered female educational institution, the academy operated for 27 years until its closure in 1845.

The curriculum included chemistry with domestic applications, biology, natural philosophy, botany, and Latin, reflecting educational standards for women in the 1800s.

Visitors access the ruins through a designated path at mile marker 4.1 on the Natchez Trace Parkway, with interpretive signs explaining the site.

John James Audubon taught drawing classes at the academy during May and June of 1822, contributing to the institution's educational offerings.
