  Emma Willard School -- NRHP Travel Itinerary
The Emma Willard School, built between 1910-1927 and designed in a Jacobethan Revival style common to educational facilities of the era, is recognized as the country's first secondary school for females and was the product of Emma Willard's pioneering efforts to expand educational opportunities for women.
Although a dedicated educational reformer, Willard was emblematic of her class and age by focusing on middle and upper-class girls whose upbringing was conducive to the values and morals Willard coupled with formal education.
In 1895 the Seminary was renamed the Emma Willard School as a posthumous honor to its founder.

 Emma Hart Willard
Willard formulated her ideas about women's education in a draft she called "A Plan for Improving Female Education." To remove any "taint" of presuming intellectual equality with men, which would have spoiled her chances for an audience, she revised the document repeatedly.
Willard's plan was that the institution she envisioned not be a private academy, such as already existed fairly commonly, but a publicly endowed seminary supervised by a board of public men, precisely as the best institutions for young men were governed.
Emma Willard's death in 1870 was not so much an occasion for mourning as for praise, as prominent men and women and newspapers reviewed her considerable accomplishment.
