The Academy still operates as a private secondary school serving the western Maine region, and its handsome main building anchors the quieter end of town. You cannot tour the campus beyond the grounds, but the building itself is worth a look -- Federal-style brick, set back from the road, the kind of institutional New England architecture that communicates permanence without trying very hard.
For anyone interested in early American political history, Fryeburg Academy is a minor but genuine footnote. Webster's year here preceded a career that included multiple terms in the Senate, two runs for the presidency, and a reputation as the finest public speaker of his age. A small marker notes the connection; the school itself does not make much of it, which is appropriate.
