LAFAYETTE’S RETURN

This year marks the 200th anniversary of General Lafayette’s return visit to the United States, at the invitation of President James Monroe. As the last surviving Major General of the Continental Army in the American Revolution, Lafayette was esteemed by the American people. As he traveled across America, localities rolled out the red carpet. On November 2, 1824, the Henrico Militia escorted General Lafayette to Powell’s Tavern in Goochland, beginning his trip through the county. Join the Goochland 250 Commission and the Goochland County Historical Society (GCHS) to experience that visit. The General will be on hand to address attendees who will enjoy a brunch featuring some of his favorite foods, view the grounds of Historic Tuckahoe, and raise a glass to toast the famous man. The event will be very much like that which took place at nearby Powell’s Tavern 200 years ago, so mark your calendar for November 2, 2024 and plan to step back in history.

If you are interested in history, join us on November 2, 2024, 10:00 am to noon at Historic Tuckahoe, 12601 River Road, Richmond, VA 23238. The event is $40.00 per person. To sign up for the event click here https://www.eventbrite.com/e/general-lafayettes-return-tickets-1041017660847
