Throughout 2024 and 2025, the American Friends of Lafayette commemorated the Bicentennial of Lafayette's return to America as Guest of the Nation, hosting 350 events across 24 states. Learn about Lafayette's contributions during the American Revolution, his lifelong passion for human rights, and how his legacy spread across the United States in 1824-1825 and again in 2024-2025.
Talk will be led by Robert Kelly, Director of the Gloucester Museum of History, near Yorktown, Virginia, the site of the 1781 Battle of the Hook, a major Franco-American victory in the American Revolution. He also serves as Vice President of the American Friends of Lafayette and co-directed the recent Lafayette Bicentennial.
Event is free to attend, but donations are encouraged. Bring your own lunch to enjoy during these discussions!
