Details
Become acquainted with Lafayette's legacy and contributions to the American Revolution and ultimately American democracy. Drop in to meet with representatives from local historic houses including the Whitehurst-Buffington House and experience colonial era games and activities. This program accompanies our current exhibition on loan from The American Friends of Lafayette in preparation for this year's Bi-centennial of Lafayette's Farewell Tour, which will also be available to view. Registration is not Required.
Showings of Lafayette: The Lost Hero will be at 4:30 and 5:45
Lafayette: The Lost Hero tells the exciting story of this neglected and controversial figure and his quest to bring democracy to America and France. He left home at the age of 19 to fight courageously for the independence of the United States, and went back in 1781 to fight in vain for democratic reform in France. But when he revisited the US for the fiftieth anniversary of our revolution, he was welcomed as an American hero. An Oren Jacoby film.
