Academy Hill is a 13 unit condo building that sits atop a hill on Main Street in Jonesborough, Tennessee.   Before being known as Tennessee’s oldest town and the storytelling capital of the world, Jonesborough was a frontier town.  The town was originally part of North Carolina.  In 1784, a few years after Jonesborough was founded, its residents joined with others in northeast Tennessee to create the State of Franklin, which was the first attempt at statehood outside the initial 13 colonies.  Jonesborough was it's first Capital.

Academy Hill occupies the former High School building on Main Street.  A short walk on Main Street reveals many historic attractions, parks, restaurants, shops, churches, inns, B&Bs, and entertainment.  Main Street features the Jonesborough Repertory Theater, the historic Eureka Inn, the Jackson Theater, the Chester Inn Museum, the International Storytelling Center, the Washington County Archives, and the old Washington County Court House.  The Lost State Scenic Walkway runs through town and connects Mill Spring Park, Jimmy Neil Smith Park, WC Rowe Park, Depot Street Park, and the Chucky Depot Museum.   Within a block of Main Street is the Joneborough Visitor Center, the Heritage Alliance, and the Washington County Library.   A few more blocks brings the McKinney Center, the Depot Street Brewery,  and Wetlands Water Park.
