Berea College

Founded in 1855 by a Kentucky abolitionist, Berea College was the first Southern college to welcome students of all races and genders. As a tuition-free school, Berea offers a quality education to those with limited means, often first-generation college students. Take the free student-guided Historic Tour to view 19th-century architecture and learn about college history. Or see examples of handmade student work on the Crafts Studio Tour. On weekends, look to the stars at the college planetarium.

Accessibility: Berea College offers ADA-accessible parking, accessible building entrances, and paved walkways throughout the campus.
