In 1825, the Marquis de Lafayette visited Montgomery as part of his grand tour of the United States, where residents welcomed him as a hero of the American Revolution. Lafayette’s visit symbolized the enduring bond between France and our young nation and inspired Alabama’s citizens with his legacy of liberty.
Thank you to the RC&D Councils, American Friends of Lafayette, Alabama Humanities Alliance, and Alabama Bicentennial Commission Foundation for honoring his historic visit with a special reenactment on 3 April 2025. #Our67
