Louisiana’s Old State Capital; Exhibit from Jan 24 to March 15

Lafayette, the first foreign-born general to command forces in the American Revolution, was invited by President James Monroe to do a grand tour of the U.S. It would be Lafayette’s “farewell tour” of a country he admired so dearly. He traveled to 24 states and was besieged by adoring crowds, serenaded, and generally treated like a celebrity – all because of what he did for our fledgling country.

Opening reception: 4:30 pm on Jan 30, all ages, free

Join us for an opening reception with light refreshments and a chance to meet the artists at 4:30 p.m. Jan. 28. Special music performed in French by Ashley Orlando.
