Alderson Academy opened September 18, 1901, a coeducational secondary school founded mainly through the efforts of Miss Emma C. Alderson. Closely associated with Greenbrier Baptist Church, after 1910 control was assumed by W. Va. Baptist Association. Designed as a home school it provided academic work in classics, sciences, and normal studies. Under Dr. M. F. Forbell the Academy grew in size and number and achieved Junior College status. After 31 years as the cultural light for large neglected areas of Greenbrier and Monroe Counties the school was moved to Philippi as part of the consolidated Alderson-Broaddus College.
300 block of West Monroe Street, Alderson Greenbrier County West Virginia.
