Lafayette Visits Port Deposit, Maryland

July 29, 2025, 12:00 noon – 3:30 pm

Lafayette will be greeted by the officials and townspeople of Port Deposit upon his arrival and escorted about town by a Revolutionary fife and drum escort. He will visit the Gerry House, site of his first visit to the town. During his visit, he will greet Aquila Deaver, a very special guest who has come to renew his acquaintance and reminisce on their first introduction in the middle of the Susquehanna River on Lafayette’s April 1781 journey south. As Lafayette departs for the boat crossing to Havre de Grace, he will receive a cannon salute!
