About The Historic Athenaeum
Built in 1837 as a rectory associated with two girls’ schools, the Historic Athenaeum is now a museum dedicated to the Smith family and education in Maury County. It is also used for weddings: the front of the home provides a backdrop, and its wrap-around porches are described as suitable for entertaining guests.
