Alvin C York Agricultural Institute Historic District (NRHP #135816659) - Jamestown, Tennessee

The Alvin C. York Agricultural Institute Historic District was eligible for the National Register of Historic Places under criterion A for its role in education in Fentress County and the State of Tennessee. The high school played an important role in the education of Fentress County youth who had previously had little opportunity to attend a four-year high school. The York Agricultural Institute is also the only public school in the state that is operated by the State. The Institute was founded in 1926 as the culmination of World War I hero Sgt. Alvin C. York's wish to provide a broader education for the youth of Fentress County than had previously been available. Sgt. York raised much of the needed capital to build and operate the school by involving some of the more prominent citizens in the United States. York firmly believed, because of his experiences in the army and with his public appearances as a war hero, that the youth of his home county needed to be better educated than he was. This structure was the first of the historic buildings built in 1926, and was the Old Main Building and, I believe the original High School. The whole 'district', comprised of a portion of a 400-acre campus that includes three historic buildings & a sign spelling out "York Institute", several newer buildings, and a 125-acre farm, was added to the NRHP on September 20, 1991. All the information above was gleaned from the original documents submitted to the NRHP for listing consideration and can be viewed here:

Three bracketed photos were taken with a handheld Nikon D7200 and combined with Photomatix Pro to create this HDR image. Additional adjustments were made in Photoshop CS6.

"For I know the plans I have for you", declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." ~Jeremiah 29:11
