Local History
We would like to highlight some of the other local historical collections and archives in Greene County. Learn about the relationship between Payne Theological Seminary and Wilberforce University. Some of these materials tell the story of the Seminary's development and change from its founding in 1891 to 1939, when the institution had been established for nearly 50 years. To the right is an image of Rev. Daniel Payne, one of the founders of Wilberforce University. Payne Theological Seminary is named in Rev. Payne's honor. The Seminary is associated with the university. |
