Inspired by William Tennent and the impact of the Log College our mission is to raise awareness of his lasting contributions to higher education in the American middle colonies, as well as Tennent’s spiritual influence on the founding of our nation.
We envision the William Tennent House as a place where the community and school students will learn about the life of William Tennent and his important contribution to American history and spiritual renewal. The home and library will be open for tours to the public.
The William Tennent House Association is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization committed to the mission of restoring and preserving the William Tennent House located at 880 York Road in Warminster, Pennsylvania. William Tennent was the founder of the once nearby Log College in Warminster – the first academy in America for the training of Presbyterian ministers and the first college in Pennsylvania, to which many colleges throughout the nation can trace their spiritual origins.
