Warminster, PA, United States

Log College. Built by Rev. William Tennent c. 1735, it was the first academy in America for the training of Presbyterian ministers and the first college in Pa. A number of notable revivalist preachers and educators graduated from this rustic school before it closed upon Tennent's death in 1746. Soon

after, several Log College graduates helped establish Princeton University in New Jersey. Many other colleges trace their roots to this early institution.
