American Temperance University opened in 1893 in the planned town of Harriman, Tennessee, which was developed as a community with no alcoholic beverages permitted. In its second year of operation the institution enrolled 345 students from 20 states. However, it closed in 1908. Those who attended included two students who later became members of the U.S. House of Representatives.
The university's main building, Temperance Hall, now houses government offices and its Hall of Domestic Science is an inn. Both are historic landmarks.
