Biography
Atkinson Academy was founded in 1787 as an all-boys school by the Reverend Stephen Peabody, General Nathaniel Peabody, and Dr. William Cogswell. It began admitting girls in 1791. The original building, constructed in 1789, was destroyed by fire on November 15, 1802, and the present building was completed in 1803. The academy, in 1874, was under the charge of B.H. Weston, A.M., and was one of the oldest and most respectable institutions in the state.
