SUMMARY:Reenactment of the Marquis de Lafayette's 1824 Lexington Visit
DESCRIPTION:In 1824\, the people of Lexington awaited a major milestone: the 50th anniversary of the Battle of Lexington and the Revolutionary War. Also anticipating this occasion was one of the last surviving war heroes of that generation: General Gilbert du Motier\, Marquis de Lafayette. The celebrated soldier made one last visit back to the United States to tour the expanding country and celebrate its past. Now\, join us on the 200th anniversary of Lafayette’s visit\, on the original site\, to see how Lexingtonians in the early 19th century welcomed celebrated war heroes! Using extensive research\, we will recreate the original program of this event. The General will be welcomed by the townspeople with bells ringing and cannons firing\, followed by presentations by notable townsfolk of the period. Rain Venue: Battin Hall\, Cary Memorial Building to the entry for Lafayette Returns. \n
