Event Details

Lafayette’s Farewell Tour saw the famous French 67 year old and last surviving major general of the American Revolution triumphantly return to the country he loved. From August 15, 1824 to September 9, 1825, Lafayette covered over 6000 miles by carriage, stagecoach, canal barge, and steamboat, traveling to all 24 existing states, as well as visiting Frederick.  Join Dr. Patricia L. Maclay of the American Friends of Lafayette to develop a broader appreciation of Lafayette, a much more multifaceted man than is presented in school history classes.
