Hedding College

Hedding College

Hedding College was a college in Abingdon, Illinois from 1857-1927.

The school was named after Methodist Bishop Elizah Hedding. Merged with Illinois Wesleyan University in 1930. The campus was used by the Roosevelt Military Academy for awhile.

The college closed in 1927 because the Methodist Church thought there were too many other schools in Illinois. Records from the college were transferred to Illinois Wesleyan University. The building was torn down in 1947, and in 1953 Hedding Grade School was built there.

Hedding College was a member of the Illinois Intercollegiate Athletic Conference from 1910-1926.
