About Pleasant Hill, TN

Pleasant Hill was first settled by European Americans before 1819. In 1884 a teacher from the American Missionary Association (AMA) established the Pleasant Hill Academy to provide broad liberal arts education for rural youth, while also giving vocational training in agriculture and local skills. Supported by the Congregational Church, the school operated until 1947. Its main building, Pioneer Hall, is still standing. May Cravath Wharton, an early woman physician from Minnesota, established a medical clinic at the academy, where her husband was the director.
