Eckstein Norton Institute was a school for African Americans in Kentucky. Near Lotus, Kentucky. It was planned as a vocational school and opened in 1890. It was named for donor Eckstein Norton, president of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad.[1] Nortonville, Kentucky is named for him.
The 75 acre campus was near the Cane Springs Depot on the railroad line from Bardstown Junction (Bardstown, Kentucky) running eastward. It had a brick main building with twenty-five rooms, five frame buildings with twenty rooms for dormitories and assembly halls, a printing office, and a laundry and blacksmith shop. "The accommodations are not adequate to the demands upon them," reported the Courier-Journal in 1902.[1]
