Text of marker: "VALDOSTA INSTITUTE. M. Varnedoe was administrator of a ten-grade private school, the Valdosta Institute, 1865-70. Famous among its students was J. H. "Doc" Holliday. The Masons and several churches also used the institute as a meeting place. After the purchase, in 1885, of the property from the Wells Estate, a new brick building was constructed. In 1895 the Valdosta Institute became a public school. The brick building continued to house sections of the public school until it was razed in 1958. The Valdosta Town Committee, 1993" - External Identifiers:
