DIRECTIONS →OVERVIEW
Lyceum Hall was built in 1831 on land that had been the orchard of Bridget Bishop, the first person executed in the 1692 trials. The hall hosted lecturers including Frederick Douglass and Alexander Graham Bell, who placed one of the first long-distance telephone calls from here in 1877. The building now houses Turner's Seafood restaurant.
