Milligan College

Pictured above is the college I recently graduated from. I shot this photo from the campus of Emmanuel School of Religion because of the fantastic view. It's almost like Emmanuel is watching over us. Through the good times and the bad, Milligan will always hold a very special place within me. I am definitely proud to be an alumni of this prestigious institution.

Williams-Taylor House

The Edmund Williams family, pioneers of the area, owned the original log cabin at this site. Owner, Joshua Williams (1808-1895) enlarged the house and in 1866 gave land to Buffalo Institute, now Milligan College. It was established by Col. G.W. Baker who died here in 1905. In 1908, the house was purchased by former congressman Alfred A. Taylor (1848-1931), known for "Tennessee's War of the Roses" and governor from 1921 to 1923. It was the long-term home of U.S. District Judge Robert L. Taylor (1899-1987), who in 1956 ordered the racial desegregation of Clinton High School. -Tennessee Historical Commission
