But some served Here who later became outstanding in education. Most of the men and women of the town who were Lead ers in the 10�?Ts and 80 s received their education in the Towanda Academy. Its most famous scholar was Stephen Collins Foster who was placed in the Academy in 1840 by his brother William and1 Stephen probably attended the Winter. Spring and summer term.

The Academy with its ups and Downs continued until 1854 when it closed because of the starting of another educational institution in the town the Susquehanna collegiate Institute.
