Designed in the Ionic Greek Revival style famous for its fluted columns, the oldest building at the University of Mississippi housed most of the classrooms and faculty offices in 1848. Today the Lyceum is the principal administrative center. Its history includes being used as a hospital during the Civil War for both Union and Confederate soldiers and being the site of rioting during the desegregation crisis in 1962 centered on the admission of James Meredith. In October 2006, a Civil Rights Monument, including a statue of Meredith, was dedicated in a grassy area between the Lyceum and the J.D.Williams Library.

After a split in the Great Episcopal Church, the Freedom Society was formed and began sending missionaries into the South to organize private schools and churches. As a result, Mt. Moriah UMC was founded in 1866. Burned four times apparently due to dissentions between the Methodist South and the parent church, it was rebuilt in 1928 as a brick structure which stands today. In 2006, the church celebrated 140 years of ministering to the spiritual needs of the people.
