The teacher-training school of Middle Tennessee State Normal School, now MTSU, was established in 1911. This model school still provides practice teaching experience, laboratory methods classes, and observation facilities. Cooperation between the public school system and the college's education department led to the construction of this Neoclassical Revival building, which opened February ll, 1929. In honor of a local educator, the school was renamed Homer Pittard Campus School in 1985.

Example

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