Boydton Academic and Bible Institute
Mecklenburg County – One of the 53 sites along the Civil Rights in Education Heritage Trail®. Boydton Academic and Bible Institute was opened in 1879 in building that had been abandoned by Randolph-Macon College when it moved to Ashland in 1868. Dr. Charles Cullis, a humanitarian from Boston, purchased the property in 1878 and opened the school with the partial purpose of training African-American preachers and teachers.
