Description
In August 1824, the Marquis de Lafayette, a Frenchman and the last surviving major general of the American Revolution, triumphantly returned to the country he loved. Over the next year, Lafayette covered over 6000 miles by carriage, stagecoach, canal barge, and steamboat, traveling to all 24 exiting states and “Washington City.” This presentation will cover the details of Lafayette’s Farewell Tour of America, and how it will be celebrated in 2024 – 2025.
