    In 1839, the Lyceum Company, which promoted education in Alexandria, partnered with the Alexandria Library Company to build Lyceum Hall. The new building had a library and reading room on the first floor and a large hall on the second floor for lectures, debates, concerts, meetings, and other public programs.

    The Lyceum, built in 1838, has served many purposes for the city of Alexandria. It was originally built to be a local hub for education, hosting lectures, debates, and entertainment events. It was a military hospital, troop quarters, and meeting space during the Civil War. At various times afterward, it was a private residence, home of the Chamber of Commerce, and the first U.S. Bicentennial Center. Today, it is a history museum with exhibitions, public programs, a museum store, and facility rentals.
