Free and open to all; venue is wheelchair accessible. In “Lafayette in America in 1777-1781 and 1824-1825″<a href="https://youtu.be/iNL7-152S48?si=dyAEms92aPQ950b4">,</a>&nbsp;author and translator&nbsp;<a href="https://www.lafayetteinamerica.com/author/">Alan Hoffman</a>&nbsp;tells the story of&nbsp;<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gilbert_du_Motier,_Marquis_de_Lafayette#:~:text=During%20France's%20July%20Revolution%20of,under%20soil%20from%20Bunker%20Hill.">Lafayette</a>’s critical role in the American Revolution – both diplomatic and military. This includes both his successful lobbying of the French Court to provide an Expeditionary Force in 1780 and his Virginia Campaign and the Siege of Yorktown in 1781. Hoffman concludes with Lafayette’s remarkable Farewell Tour of the United States in 1824-1825. During this trip, General Lafayette visited all 24 states and was celebrated by over 3,000,000 Americans, more than 25% of the entire population. One contemporary – Edward Everett, who resided in Charlestown for a time – called the Farewell Tour “an event, taken in all its parts, unparalleled in the history of man.”
