The Brookeville Academy is located in the heart of the Historic District in Brookeville, Maryland, a town located twenty miles (32 km) north of Washington, D.C., and two miles (3.2 km) north of Olney in northeastern Montgomery County, Maryland.

Now, fully restored, it serves as a unique community center suitable for meetings, social and cultural events.

It is located in the Brookeville Historic District, which served as the "Capital for a Day" in 1814 when President Madison had to flee the White House during the British Invasion of the War of 1812.

The town of Brookeville purchased the house from the St. John's Church for its historical significance and began to renovate it for wider public use.
