Hampden-Sydney Celebrates
Campus has been buzzing with activity in celebration of the second year of the College’s three-year 250th anniversary commemoration. Each course, speaker, event, and program has been thoughtfully curated to pay proper tribute to the ideals upon which our college was founded. Take a look.

Excavations at Old College
On March 19, 2025, students began excavating at the site of the first classroom building constructed at the school. The class is designed to teach the history of Hampden-Sydney College specifically for the 250th anniversary. Completed in 1776, this three-story brick building, known originally as the Academy House and later simply as “the College,” stood until about 1830, when it was demolished.

Common Ground
Meet seven alumni doing the hard work to responsibly steward the landscapes we inhabit and protect the plants and animals that are our neighbors. They inspire and remind us that we are interconnected with all creatures who call Earth home.

House on the Hill of Time
The history of Hampden-Sydney is inextricably linked to the personal histories of the people who founded, built, attended, and lived at the College. Amy Simes has put her unique history down in print with the publication of her memoir, The House on the Hill of Time. Simes lived in Hampden House as a child for eight years before it became the alumni house
