Burkeville, Virginia
— Nottoway County —
When the Russell Grove School in Amelia County grew too big for its building, land was found in Nottoway County near Burkeville for a new school. Built in 1892 to educate African-American girls, the new school was named Ingleside Seminary. It was funded by northern churches. In 1894, Ingleside was recognized by the State Board of Education as a Teacher Training Institute. It prepared young women to teach all grades, including those at training schools. The young teachers, some only 16, were in great demand as new African-American schools began springing up around Southside Virginia.| HM Number | HMKRH |
