It opened in 1889 as the Decatur Female Seminary and was renamed a year later for Agnes Irvine Scott, a Scots-Irish immigrant who never saw the place. Her son George Washington Scott, whose cotton mill stood three miles up the road at Scottdale, put up the money on the condition the school carry his mother's name. It was the first institution of higher education in Georgia to win regional accreditation, and it is still a women's liberal arts college of about a thousand students.
That was 1 of the hidden places.
