Antioch College on Livermore Street
Antioch College is the story most people in Yellow Springs tell first. The Ohio historical marker at 795 Livermore Street says the college was chartered in 1852 by the Christian Church. It opened with Horace Mann, a pioneer in education, as its first president. From the start, men and women studied side by side. The marker calls it one of the earliest co-educational colleges in the United States. In 1920, Arthur E. Morgan became president. He started a plan where students split their time between classes and real jobs, and many other schools copied it. The Antioch Review, one of the oldest literary magazines in America, began here in 1941. The college's Fine Arts Building stands at 405 Corry Street. It joined the National Register in 2022.
Virginia Hamilton and the library on Xenia Avenue
Yellow Springs also gave the country a great writer. Virginia Hamilton was born here in 1934 and lived and wrote here for much of her life. She published more than forty books, including The House of Dies Drear and M.C. Higgins the Great. Many of her stories are about the struggles and journeys of African Americans. Her marker stands at the Yellow Springs Community Library, 415 Xenia Avenue. Xenia Avenue is printed right across the middle of this map.
