Review:
Today a lively cultural center and a museum, Bradley Academy was the first school open in Murfreesboro. It was built in 1806 for the education of white males only. From 1884, women and African American students were also allowed to attend. After the original building was destroyed, the existing structure was built in 1917, and opened in 1918 as a school for African American students. Today, the Bradley Academy Museum and Cultural Center serves as a community center and museum and houses the original classroom, a Civil War exhibit, and an exhibition on early settlers to the county of Rutherford and the city of Murfreesboro. The Bradley Academy Museum and Cultural Center has a spacious auditorium, which also serves as a dining area, a meeting room, and a theatre for concerts and plays.
