A History of North Yarmouth Academy (1810 – 2010)

In 1810, subscription papers were circulated by local citizens to "erect a school-house in which youth of both sexes might have an opportunity of receiving a better education." NYA was chartered in 1814 and has now been meeting its original mission for almost 200 years. A detailed history of the institution is being prepared. We'd like your help. Place-based Historian Jay Robbins has been involved with NYA since 1991 as a parent, as an archaeologist and as the compiler of a 2005 preliminary draft Bicentennial History of the school. Jay will share his research with us and will encourage us to share our memories.
