[edit] History

In 1919, Weimar Institute opened as a small tuberculosis sanatorium. In 1957 it changed focus to the Weimar Chest Center, treating other pulmonary diseases. It was then renamed the Weimar Medical Center in 1960 and in 1966 Weimar Medical Center developed into a general community hospital. The hospital was closed 1972 due to financial cuts by the state and counties. Following the closure the property changed hands several times and in 1975 it reopened as Hope Village, a temporary relocation center for Vietnamese refugees.[1]

In May 1977, a group of Seventh-day Adventists purchased the 457 acres. In 1978 it was registered as the nonprofit organization, Weimar Institute of Health & Education. In 1978 Weimar College opened and 1981 Weimar Academy was established as a private four-year Christian boarding high school.[2] The college program was closed as of June 20, 2008.[3]
