Lafayette is welcomed by Barre, VT
June 28, 2025 @ 3:00 pm–3:30 pm
Barre — 3:00 pm Lafayette stopped in South Barre to change horses and escort for his evening in nearby Montpelier at a tavern owned by Major Ira Day, who also co-owned the turnpike to Williamstown that Lafayette travelled on. The exact location of the tavern is in question, but the Vermont History Center and Library will receive and welcome General Lafayette outdoors at the historic Spaulding school building at 60 Washington Street (Route 302) in Barre. The public is invited to visit and view the new research and exhibition gallery, which contains hundreds of items, including mementos from Lafayette’s 1825 visit, during regular museum hours, Tuesday-Friday.
