Description
Excerpted from the website:
- In 1850, this area of southern Madison County was called the Glade. The principal landowner in the area, Cassius Clay, offered his friend Reverend John G. Fee a free tract of land in the Glade to establish a nonslaveholder abolitionist community. With the help of local supporters and other missionaries from the American Missionary Association, Fee established a church, an interracial school and a tiny village in 1854. The community was named Berea, after the biblical town where the people "received the Word with all readiness of mind." In early 1860, prominent Madison County slaveowners drove Fee and his supporters from the area. After the Civil War, the Fees and other exiles returned to Berea to reestablish their vision of an interracial school and community.
