The Willington School

During 1801 a famous boys' school was built along the banks of the Savannah River, on the Carolina side, about forty-five miles from Augusta and six miles from Willington.  This was a time when the Broad River joined the Savannah on the Georgia side and a wagon trail led off into South Carolina. It was called the Willington School, named by his founder, Dr. Moses Waddel. Dr. Waddel was a Presbyterian minister who later became the president of the University of Georgia. This was a time when the basic studies were taught in the field schools.
