Join the celebration commemorating the 200th Anniversary of Lafayette’s return to America in 1824 as “guest of the Nation” in which he visited all 24 states and all surviving residents. Historian Mark Schneider will appear as Major General Lafayette.

This event will feature lectures, reenactments, and family-friendly events to celebrate our alliance with France and the founding of our nation. You’ll discover why Americans turned out in droves to celebrate the charismatic Frenchman everywhere he went – especially in Yorktown!
