Miss Catherine Fiske's Young Ladies Seminary was a boarding and day school for young ladies, located in Keene, New Hampshire.[1] Established in 1814, it achieved a national reputation.[2] After the 1837 death of Catherine Fiske, the school's founder, the seminary continued to operate until the early 1840s.[3] The property went through various changes but currently serves as the President's House at Keene State College.
