The Tilden Ladies' Seminary, also known as the Tilden Female Seminary, was dedicated on September 19, 1855, in West Lebanon, New Hampshire, United States. The school was named after William Tilden, who was born in West Lebanon and became rich in New York City through his business, the manufacture and export of varnish. Instruction took place in a school on a hill above the Connecticut River. The four-story brick school for girls was notable in that, unlike the typical private school started by an individual and held in the founder's home, it was chartered by the legislature of New Hampshire and occupied a purpose-built building.

  • The Tilden Ladies' Seminary, also known as the Tilden Female Seminary, was dedicated on September 19, 1855, in West Lebanon, New Hampshire, United States. The school was named after William Tilden, who was born in West Lebanon and became rich in New York City through his business, the manufacture and export of varnish. Instruction took place in a school on a hill above the Connecticut River. The four-story brick school for girls was notable in that, unlike the typical private school started by an individual and held in the founder's home, it was chartered by the legislature of New Hampshire and occupied a purpose-built building. In the period leading up to the time of the seminary's founding, the education of young women often involved boarding schools that did little to educate young women beyond needlework, music, and other abilities meant to prepare them for life, which meant attracting a husband. Academies or seminaries such as the Tilden Ladies' Seminary were established to raise academic standards, which some did. The 1870 promotional catalog of the school explained its mission: "This Seminary aims to provide, at a moderate expense, excellent and special advantages for the finished, practical and ornamental education of Young Ladies." The school closed in 1890 due to low enrollment. (en)
