A Miss Hibbard, with possibly another Miss Hibbart, operated a Young Ladies’ Seminary, at South Lancaster, in the period marked out roughly by the years 1850 to 1880. In this school, music was a specialty. The Cornwall Freeholder of 9 Aug. 1867 praised the Lancaster Seminary for young ladies (Miss Hibbard, principal). The Rev. Thomas Macpherson bought the Hibbard house in the early 1880s.
