Robinson Female Seminary was an American girl's day and boarding school in Exeter, New Hampshire. It was founded by the benefactor, William Robinson, a native and early resident of that town. By his last will, he bequeathed the residue of his large estate to the town of his birth, to establish a female seminary. The town of Exeter accepted the bequest, and adopted a code of regulations for the management of the contemplated institution, which was sanctioned by a legislative enactment. The sum of more than US$250,000, principal and income, was realized from the bequest, and a female seminary was at once organized on a scale commensurate with the design of the founder and the magnitude of his gift.

| - Robinson Female Seminary was an American girl's day and boarding school in Exeter, New Hampshire. It was founded by the benefactor, William Robinson, a native and early resident of that town. By his last will, he bequeathed the residue of his large estate to the town of his birth, to establish a female seminary. The town of Exeter accepted the bequest, and adopted a code of regulations for the management of the contemplated institution, which was sanctioned by a legislative enactment. The sum of more than US$250,000, principal and income, was realized from the bequest, and a female seminary was at once organized on a scale commensurate with the design of the founder and the magnitude of his gift. In 1867, the institution was opened for the reception of pupils, and in 1869, it was fully organized and established in the new building erected for it. Robinson seminary was the second school in the U.S. to introduce domestic science into its course. The seminary closed in 1955. (en)
