On this site was the original campus of Livingston Academy, founded in 1909 by the Christian Woman's Board of Missions of the First Christian Church and citizens of Overton County. Livingston Academy was the first high school in the northern Upper Cumberland region of Tennessee. In 1947 the United Christian Missionary Society sold the school to Overton County, and it became a public county high school. The campus was relocated in 1976.

Example

For example, one family's tree showed the Articles of Confederation marker in Pennsylvania standing under a mile from where William Gabby lived in the 1760s.

What that marker records spans 1777 to 1789, overlapping William Gabby's years there.
