Boiling Spring Academy is a resotred one room schoolhouse in Brentwood, TN that dates back to 1832. The school was built on land that also contains several old Indian Mounds.
The first classes were held at this private school in 1833. In 1887, the building became a public school. Around 1900, the building was also used as a multi-denominational church, and what had been the main door became the middle window, with the door moving to the side. It's use as both a school and a church stopped in the late 1910s as the Primm family, who owned the surrounding farmland, used the building to store hay, corn and tobacco.
In 2003, the Primm family donated the land to the city of Brentwood, who made this Primm Historic park after a year of renovations. The park is along Moore's Lane (TN441) near the intersection of Wilson Pike (TN252), however the gate is often locked. The park is also accessible via the city Bicycle Greenway system. The Academy is listed on the National register of Historic Places.
