Lafayette’s time in Annapolis totaled less than a fortnight spread out over five decades, but that was enough for the French nobleman and the city to develop a mutual admiration for one another. The first two times he came to Maryland’s capital in 1777 and 1781, he arrived on a mission; the last two visits in 1784 and 1824 were for pleasure.  Glenn Campbell talks about the long and warm relationship between Annapolis and America’s favorite fighting Frenchman.

François-Jean Chastellux, a major general in the French army, member of the Society of the Cincinnati, and cousin of the marquis de Lafayette, played a central role in the Franco-American alliance during the Revolutionary War. Recently, a collection of more than four thousand pages of Chastellux’s private papers were discovered at his estate in Burgundy, France, by historian Dr. Iris De Rode.

Mark your calendars for this exciting event on March 14th! The American Friends of Lafayette will gather in the rotunda of the Virginia State Capitol building in Richmond to celebrate Lafayette Day in Virginia. 

Our friends at America's History are hosting a series of events the weekend of March 17th through the 19th in Colonial Williamsburg.
