Dr. Henry Tutwiler, who started the Greene Springs School in present-day Hale County, believed "that learning could be made enjoyable without sacrificing intellectual content…He was eager to give (his students) a sense of the world’s broad horizons."

The famed Greene Springs School educated three generations of prominent Alabamians from its opening in 1847 through Julia Strudwick Tutwiler's leadership of the school from 1877 until the 1880s when the school burned.

A marker (photo at left) was placed near the Havana Cemetery which reads: Dr. Henry Tutwiler/Teacher -- Scientist/and his illustrious daughter/ Julia Strudwick Tutwiler/Educator--Writer--Philanthropist/Erected by the school children and Historical Society of Hale Co. Ala.
