Templeton Library

The Templeton Library is a building in Sewanee, Tennessee, United States. It is located on a prominent bluff atop the Cumberland Plateau. It was built by investor and philanthropist John Templeton, a native of the region, and was intended to be a library dedicated to studying the relationship betwee

n science and religion. Since his death in 2008, the Templeton Library has not operated as a library and, as of 2023, was being used for private apartments, while the grounds remain open to the public.
