General Information LOCATION AND SURROUNDINGS The College is located in Madison County, on the Kentucky Central R. R., one hundred and thirty miles south of Cincinnati. The town bears the same name, Berea, and is a healthful village, delightfully situated among the foot-hills of the Cumber-land Mountains. It is on the dividing line between the mountains, the home of the famous mountainpeople whose loyalty forms so romantic an episode in the Civil War, and the noted Blue Grass Region on the west. Two miles east is the pinnacle from which Daniel Boone first viewed the fertile plains of Kentucky.
