Lecture: Lafayette and the Farewell Tour: The Granite State Salutes the Nation's Guest

Lecture: Lafayette and the Farewell Tour: The Granite State Salutes the Nation's Guest

Join historian Alan Hoffman as he explores the Marquis de Lafayette’s triumphal tour of New Hampshire—and the United States—in 1824 and 1825. Lafayette was a young, idealistic aristocrat when he journeyed to America in 1777 to join the patriots in their fight against Great Britain. He became one of the most beloved figures of the Revolution, America’s “favorite fighting Frenchman.” When he returned to the United States in the mid-1820s, he was one of the last surviving leaders of the Revolutionary generation. Learn about his time in New Hampshire and see some of the Society’s collections related to his tour. Admission is free for Society members; $10 for nonmembers. No registration required.
