$3.9M Manassas Museum expansion moves forward without library

Manassas is moving ahead with an expansion of this city museum that will not include a new public library.

The $3.9 million expansion will provide enough room for 135 people to sit during events or as room to display new exhibits. The goal is to have this done by the 150th anniversary of Manassas' incorporation into a town on April 3, 2023. Manassas later became a city in 1975.

Officials began exploring expansion possibilities in 2008, but these plans were set aside due to the economic conditions. Later in 2017, city officials began floating the idea of building a new library on the museum grounds, so the two facilities would sit next to each other.
