Abstract:

The Bingham Military Academy outside of Asheville graduated more than 5,000 graduates from its inception to closure in 1920. William Bingham began the school in the early 19th-century because he determined that students needed a thorough preparatory school before college. The school's history involved several moves before its final location in Asheville and headmaster duties passed through several generations of Bingham descendants.
