Description

A National Historic Landmark, the Chapel opened in 1868 during Robert E. Lee's tenure as 11th president of then Washington College. Non-denominational and unconsecrated, the Chapel housed an auditorium, administrative offices, a YMCA, and a library. In 1928, a museum was installed in the basement. Today, that museum constitutes several gallery spaces with exhibitions on the history of the university.
