Jubilee College, and the frontier community that supported it, was founded in 1839 by Episcopal bishop Philander Chase.
After removing himself and his family to the Valley of Peace in central Ohio, Chase spent the final years of his life founding Jubilee College and the surrounding frontier community near present-day Peoria, Illinois, financed by arduous fund-raising journeys overseas.
