The Mary Thompson Farmhouse, located on Evergreen Road in Southfield, Michigan, is a historic landmark that dates back to 1840. Originally built by Matthew Erwin, the farmhouse was later purchased by William James Thompson and his wife Margaret Parks Thompson in 1870. It was in this house that their daughter, Mary Elizabeth Thompson, was born in 1871. The farmhouse has undergone renovations to preserve its historical value, while also incorporating modern amenities. Mary Thompson, despite facing economic hardships after her father's death, received a remarkable education for a woman of her time. She graduated from Birmingham Hill High School in 1892 and went on to earn a Bachelor's Degree in Education from Michigan Normal College. Mary's pursuit of knowledge continued as she obtained a Masters from Columbia, a M.Pd. pedagogy from Michigan State Normal, and a Doctorate in Education from New York University. Her dedication to education and her family's legacy make the Mary Thompson Farmhouse an important piece of Southfield's history.Generated from the website
