BHMA

MemorialSite

A Monument to Educational Excellence

The Boylan-Haven-Mather Academy Memorial Site is located at the corner of Campbell and DeKalb streets in Camden, SC, in front of the former campus.

Visitors are greeted by a white metal archway (donated by the Class of 1961) that spans a pair of brick pillars. The structure frames a gravel walkway that leads to displays depicting the school's history and six of its illustrious alumni.

The Cedarbrook Apartments complex, a drug store and city tennis center now occupy the property.
