Grounding the front campus, right below national landmark Washington Hall (with its crowning statue of President George Washington, in a toga), the University Chapel was built during the tenure of Washington College President Robert E. Lee, and used as a gathering space for students and faculty after the Civil War, and still today. A history museum dedicated to Lee, and the university's evolution over 250 years is in the basement, next to the burial crypt for President Lee, and his family.
