While no longer standing, the Spring Hill Baptist Church and the Spring Hill Academy (built in 1820) once shared property with the Richmond Temperance Hall (still in place):  Spring Hill Baptist Church, encouraging literacy to promote reading and understanding of the Bible; Spring Hill Academy, setting high academic standards; and the Richmond Temperance and Literary Society, using debate and literary scholarship to avoid the destructive lure of alcohol, formed a great synergy. 

That synergy enabled this area’s early settlers and their descendants to become authors, doctors, lawyers, clergy, historians, poets, musicians, and legislators.
