Noah House

Vaiden High School
In 1874 Dr. and Mrs. C. M. Vaiden built the Vaiden Male and Female Institute. The first teachers were Mr. and Mrs. Charles Henry Barksdale, ancestors of Jim Barksdale, former President and Chief Executive Officer at Netscape Communications Corporation in Mountain View, Calif. (It is interesting to see that education is still important in the Barksdale family) The current building was built in 1941 on the site of the Institute.
