Do you see any problem with "Lyceum" events occurring in a Town Hall?
From it's description the Melrose Town Hall was designed for just such
events. There does not seem to be any physical location referred to as
a Lyceum (not since 1870 when one burned down). I don't have any solid
evidence that links the Town Hall with the Twain-Cable tour but it does
have a good fit.
