These discussions then led to the suggestion of an exhibition to be held in Sierra Leone. On December 18, 1863, a dozen men in Freetown met to discuss the possibility of holding an exhibition of African products in the colony. </p><p>An executive committee was created on January 5, 1864 under the leadership of the J. T. Comissiong. On March 26, a public meeting was held to discuss the proposed exhibition to the mechanics and farmers of the colony. The colonial government granted £250 and another £427 2s. 6d. was raised from private individuals in the colony.<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The first major problem of the organising committee was in finding a suitable building for the exhibition.
